I've lived and worked across three countries and travelled far beyond them. Here's a little about what shaped me: how I see the world, what keeps me grounded, and what I can't stop thinking about.
Sahar سحر means dawn in Persian. Cane, as in sugar cane, stands for growth, resilience and transformation.
There's an old story from the Great Plains. When a storm rolls in, cows and bison react in opposite ways, and so do people.
It runs away from the storm, but the storm moves the same way. It stays caught in the rain for hours, tired and still afraid.
It walks straight into the storm, passes through it quickly, and comes out the other side first.
AI is our generation's storm. Let's be the bison.
Storms don't ask for permission. They ask who is willing to walk through them.
I've started over in three countries and worked with teams across Asia, Europe and North America. Different languages, different customs, and the same truth everywhere: the people who grow are the ones who turn toward the hard thing, not away from it.
Running from a storm only keeps you in it longer. Walking into it is how you reach the other side, and every crossing leaves you steadier, wiser and harder to knock down.
AI is the storm of our time. Most people are waiting for it to pass. I'd rather walk in first, and help others find their way through.

Sport has always kept me grounded, and it's where I learned discipline and how to get back up.
I train as a CrossFit athlete.
I grew up doing both.
Collegiate medals in mixed doubles in Malaysia.
Summited Mount Kinabalu and Humphreys Peak. Mount Whitney is next.
The mountains taught me the core of my worldview: you don't reach the top by avoiding the storm. On Kinabalu we climbed through the night for a sunrise summit. On Whitney, deep snow and bad weather turned us back, and I learned that turning around isn't quitting. I'm going back to finish the job.
Whitney and I have unfinished business. It won round one, but I'm training for the rematch.
Martial arts shaped my character long before I knew it. They taught me discipline, respect for the person across from me, and how to stay calm under pressure. Stepping into the ring is a small version of facing the storm: you feel the fear, keep your guard up, and move forward anyway.
I train, but I don't compete. My nose and I have a very good relationship, and I'd like to keep it that way.
