ON MY DESK

What I’m working on right now.

THE LONG VIEW2004 — STILL BUILDING

THE STORY

How it got here.

Different chapters. The same curiosity.

WordPress, SaaS, Shopify, investing—and now agents. Every chapter started with the same question: what can this new thing actually do for people?

ARCom

It started with ARCom.

The first company. Building for the web from Bangladesh, before any of the rest existed — and the beginning of a habit of shipping things.

Asif speaking at WordCamp San Francisco, 2014

Growing up in WordPress.

WordPress became the platform I built on, and the community I grew up in. Meetups, contributors, the long tail of people who make the open web work.

WPDeveloper

Products, and a team to build them with.

WPDeveloper is where product thinking became a team sport — tools for WordPress users, made carefully and kept alive for years.

Startise

Startise, the house the teams live in.

Through Startise, WPDeveloper, xCloud and Storeware, I get to build with teams who care about making useful things. Startise is where those teams meet.

xCloud

Hosting — the infrastructure chapter.

xCloud is the infrastructure side of the work: servers and sites, made simpler for the people who run them.

Storeware

Shopify, with Storeware.

The Shopify chapter. Storeware builds for merchants — a different platform, the same instinct to make something people use every day.

Now: what is possible with AI.

AIscan, xSpeed Cache and Instapect are my current priorities: helping people understand their websites, improve performance and learn from Instagram.

FROM LINKEDIN

What’s on my mind.

XCLOUD · HOSTING & AGENTS

Where the agents run.
And get to work.

I’m building xCloud for this next chapter: host your agents, connect your tools, and put them to work.

xCloudHOST IT. CONNECT IT. PUT IT TO WORK.

CONNECT YOUR ASSISTANT

Your infrastructure. One conversation.

MCP connects your AI assistant to xCloud’s real server and site controls. Read deployment logs, inspect a server, manage backups or check SSL — with the access you choose.

OPEN SOURCE & SKILLS

Building in the open.

Agent tooling, shared as it becomes useful. Open a row and take a look.

Umami MCPgithub.com

Ask questions about your Umami analytics from an agent.

JARVIS Mission Controlclawhub.ai

Bring agent tasks, active sessions and costs together in one dashboard.

xCloud Agent Skillsclawhub.ai

Manage servers, sites, WordPress and SSL through an AI agent.

Token Optimizerclawhub.ai

Tools for managing agent context and token usage.

WordPress Publisherclawhub.ai

xCloud Docker Deployclawhub.ai

ASK MY AI

Rather ask me directly?

I trained an assistant on how I think and talk — about building companies, WordPress, agents, and what I think is coming next. It answers in my voice, at any hour, and it will happily disagree with you. It only loads when you press the button.
