Reading, constantly.
Mostly online, and a fair amount of it on Reddit. It’s how I stay up to date with what’s happening in tax, in tech and in the air.
Off duty
Mostly, I’m looking up.
Away from tax, aviation comes first. After that, a lot of reading, some tinkering, and shisha.
Aviation
A deep fascination, never grounded.
Four and a half years in airline finance, at Etihad and Emirates, never wore it off. I still look up every single time.
- Home airportsAUH and DXB.
- Airline yearsEtihad Airways, 2009 to 2011. Emirates, 2015 to 2018.
- Spotter’s factThe 777-300ER is longer than the A380, by just over a metre.
- On this siteThe labels are set in B612, the typeface designed for Airbus cockpit displays.
The rest of the logbook
Reading, tinkering and shisha.
The rest of the time, in no particular order.
Experimenting with tech.
I grew up taking computers apart. Now it’s new models, new tools and small builds. Some end up at work: Hysaab began with Oblique’s own team.
Shisha.
Where the long conversations happen, and a few of the better ideas.
