I started building this on a random weekend just simply wondering if I could pull it off
You can just do things and see them all the way to a release
Money didn’t just need a wallet, it needed Motion
Move is for money.
Money needs a wallet.
That's why we're launching Motion Wallet, a self-custodial, Movement-native wallet built from the ground up for moving money across the Movement ecosystem.
v1.0 is live now and ready for you.

Happy to announce that as of today I am now Head of Developer Relations at @biconomy.
Over the past few months I’ve been thinking about the terrible UX we accept in web3 today. I started doing some front end talks and workshops to talk about common UX patterns in web3 today.

Some news:
This has been my first week as Senior Devrel Engineer at @movementlabsxyz. Going through all the onboarding getting to know folks this week but I'm super excited to dive in and start building with yall on movement.
Excited especially to be working with folks like @rushimanche @coopsmoves @bhenhsi and the rest of the movement team.
Why this move?
The Move Programming language was originally developed by Facebook's Libra Project, which was created to build smart contracts on its blockchain platform. The move language was designed to address the unique challenges of blockchain development, such as security, efficiency, and scalability. It was built by a team that needed all of this from the get-go, considering the behemoth that is Facebook.
It's time to really innovate on top of Ethereum with new VM's and build for a secure and scalable onchain future.
I'm super excited to be diving into Move with yall and will be sharing tons of learning resources in the coming weeks. I'm also really excited to see what folks end up building here and how I can help enable you to reach whatever goals you may have.
If you're building on movement or interested in learning more my dms are open so lets chat.
Oh oh - I also got a shiny new badge on here!
gmove!

Joining Movement one of my first interactions was with Torab and I remember saying to myself, this fucking degen is someone I can vibe with. I had that same feeling again with several others on the team.
I wanted something new and different to learn and play with Move caught my attention. It is nowhere near the level of adoption and builder tooling that EVM has but my ego dictates that I could help build towards that. I could see the vision of what we were building towards on the engineering side. Under the current engineering leadership I have no doubt we can continue to push out something awesome.
We’re all tired of the bs but we’re here and continuing to build.
I’m tired of this shit.
There is no worse fucking feeling than realizing that you are the yield. That your blood, sweat, and tears have been fucking used to enrich some pieces of shit who don’t give a damn about you, the community, the project, or the builders.
I’ve spent so much time away from my wife and 3 kids in pursuit of building something meaningful in a fucking cesspool of grift. So many emotional, financial, and physical sacrifices made only to have a greedy group of grifters try and destroy it so they can skim some money off at TGE and beyond. So many moments missed with my kids and family in pursuit of building something great.
Ask the builders in the Movement ecosystem about how hard I’ve worked to earn their trust. So many builders who despite our shortcomings continue to work with Movement, purely based on the relationships that I cultivated.
And to see the blatant lies and bullshit using my personal brand is something I can’t accept. All a man has in life is his reputation and I’m not going to burn it for money, and especially not so another piece of shit can make money. You have no idea how much it burns to see the Movement name dragged through the mud and to see the constant FUD on CT.
It fucking sucks.
Constant short term thinking has dominoed into the circus we see today. Time and time again the community has been fucked by Movement and as hard as it is to believe, I’ve worked tirelessly to prevent it from happening. And time and time again I am disappointed in the direction of the company and the inability to execute.
I’ve had dozens of builders check in with me and ask me if I’m going to leave. Builders who told me they will leave if I leave.
I’m telling you what I told them, I’m not going anywhere.
As long as I am wanted, I will continue to serve the Movement community, ecosystem, and builders. Even now im in Dubai working to help better our ecosystem, talking to investors, builders, liquid funds, institutions, etc.
This MoveDrop being delayed and the information in the coin desk article are the straw that broke the camels back. Enough is enough. Believe me when I tell you that I was shaking with rage the entire day yesterday. Much of our community is not wealthy and this airdrop is a significant financial boon and we have yoyo’d it one too many times.
The Movement is ecosystem deserves better. I deserve better. You deserve better.
Something must change.
Something’s going to change.
G fucking Move.

Fortunate enough to be invited for Hajj this year and while going through my Dua's it occured to me how much my career and work came up.
Ever since I've started being more disciplined about praying waking up early and focusing my day around my deen that things ended up helping with improvements in my day to day work.
In Sha Allah once I'm back we're going to build some very cool new things on the devrel side at Movement. Time to push forward on a lot more.

I was burnt out for two months straight and couldn't bring myself to do anything. What helped me was to try to stop forcing myself to code and just accept I needed to rest. Played video games, focused on family and did some writing. Its important to have things outside of code.

Over the past year I have slowly come off medication for depression and anxiety and in the last couple of months I have gone from weekly therapy sessions to two a month and slowly am thinking about just doing therapy as needed if I feel I need extra support.
It has been a lot of work and throughout the time I went through with taking the meds and doing therapy I have gone in and out some dark times. For now I feel I have learned a bit more about myself and what makes me happy. Its been a combination of turning to my faith, being with family more, and working on things I believe in and am passionate about.
It isn’t easy to get to a point where you feel things are good. It takes a lot of work and it takes some intentional moves towards something you believe in or would make you happy.
For the first time in a long time I feel proud of my own accomplishments and overall I can say I am happy. The biggest turning point from me was embracing my faith more and that helped me with seeking the proper help I needed. I feel Allah guided me along where I need to go and what I needed to do to get to a better place. I still have more work to do on the faith side but it feels good to slowly get to a better place.
I’m hoping if you read this that you keep going too. Whatever it is that might help you get there please embrace it. I have shared a bit about my darker moments and wanted to share a lighter one as well. As hard as it is I promise you are worth it.
