Hi! It's me, Alfaz Khan.
I'm a Product Manager at Keelworks Foundation.
— Fueled by ADHD, powered by resilience
Fueled by coffee, driven by cars, and always ready for the next adventure. ADHD isn't a limitation—it's my secret weapon for thinking differently, staying relentless, and turning every obstacle into a new route. If I've done it once, I can shift gears and do it again.
