About

Hey! I'm Zaid.

A single place on this site for who I am, what I'm building, and where to try the product, without parking the story in the blog or duplicating it across every section.

Operator

I'm Zaid Mukaddam, based in Mumbai. I work with founders' urgency and an engineer's bar for proof—strategy, hands-on shipping, and the open-source surface area that pulls the right people and feedback loops in early.

Scira

Scira is the AI search product and company I run full cycle—roadmap, build, launches. The bet is search that feels like a tool, not just another chat UI, with models on tap, calm UX, and a stack you can ship and measure like a real business.
