I'm Haaris. I'm a gay man in my mid-thirties, divorced, living in Orlando. I work in tech, cook a lot of desi food, and spend more time on my couch than I'd like to admit. Both products here came from the same frustration: I looked for something that fit how I actually live and came up empty. H.I.M. exists because every app built for gay men defaults to hookups, and I needed something built for friendship. Saman exists because a stocked kitchen matters in my family's culture, and no app treated it that way. I build things I need to exist in the world. That's the whole thesis.
