About

Show, don’t tell.

I’m Ayani Lamaan, from Malé. I’m studying computer science — Dean’s List in year one — and I spend the rest of my time building: KULI, a rental marketplace for the Maldives that’s already partially deployed, and Komeni, a clothing brand that’s taking shape.

Outside the codebase I chair the National Youth Leadership Committee at Special Olympics Maldives — which has taken me from inclusive-leadership work at home to stages in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. Building products and building people turn out to use the same muscle: listen properly, design deliberately, follow through.

I’ve worked across IT, data, and people operations — systems of every kind. What ties it together: I like systems, I like them documented, and I like them honest. The highlights live on the milestones page.

How I work

Ship slices, not promises.KULI is live in parts because I’d rather have real users on half a product than a pitch deck for a whole one.

Design is respect.Clear, calm, considered — whether it’s an interface, a document, or a clothing label.

Everything documented.If it isn’t written down, it didn’t teach anyone — that’s what the notes are for.

Say hello

Building something for the Maldives, or working on inclusion? I read everything.
