ALBERT NAHAS

Founder Details

Awareness first. Build second.

I was born in 1992 in Aleppo, Syria. War, transition, and uncertainty shaped my early years, and resilience became the foundation of how I think, build, and lead.

Chapter 01

From Aleppo to Amsterdam

My early years were shaped by instability and movement: Aleppo, Lebanon, Dubai, and eventually Amsterdam. Constant adaptation became normal. So did observing systems, social and technical, and asking why they work the way they do.

I did not grow up in startup culture. I grew up learning resilience. That is why my product work is grounded in clarity, usefulness, and long-term trust.

Chapter 02

Engineering rigor + product thinking

I studied Computer Science at Aleppo University and strengthened my technical foundation through CS50 in Cambridge. Over the last decade, I worked in product environments including Miro and Doctolib, leading teams and shipping enterprise features used by thousands of professionals.

I am a front-end engineer by profession, but I think like a product owner and operate like a founder.

Chapter 03

The obsession: reducing friction

  • The two seconds before someone gives up.
  • The small confusion that creates cognitive load.
  • The subtle UX detail that either builds trust or erodes it.

Every product starts with one question: how do we reduce friction between intention and action?

Internal Work

Mental health shaped the product lens

I went through anxiety, self-doubt, and internal pressure. I approached those challenges the same way I approach software: observe, debug, iterate. Mindfulness, writing, and neuroscience changed how I relate to stress and identity. That internal work now informs how I design external experiences.

My products are lean but thoughtful, emotionally aware but rational, technically solid but human-centered. I move fast, but not carelessly. I ship MVPs with architectural foresight. I optimize for long-term leverage, not vanity metrics. I do not build to impress. I build to clarify.
