Fahad Khan
Founding engineer at LFG, based in Dubai
I'm building LFG, a way to pay and get paid in stablecoins without ever thinking about the blockchain. Before that, ten years shipping payments, POS and SaaS products end to end across India, Kuwait and the UAE.

Making stablecoin payments feel like normal payments. Merchants and freelancers get paid in USDC through a payment link, a phone at the counter or an API, settled in seconds, on flat monthly pricing instead of a cut of every sale.

For a few years my office was wherever the wifi held up, from Southeast Asia to the World Cup in Qatar. Dubai is home base now, but I still head out on and off.
Stack
I'm not tied to a stack. I pick what fits the problem and the team, then take it from first sketch to running in production.
What I've shipped with lately. A starting point, not a boundary.

About
I care about shipping things that work and a fast loop from idea to production. I like boring, well tested code, and I still pack a bag whenever there's a gap.
How I build now
AI is in my loop every day. Claude Code writes most first drafts; I own the design, the review and what reaches production. Nobody types every line by hand anymore. The job is knowing what to build and proving it works.
Education
- BachelorBachelor of Computer Applications

Contact gate
The fastest way to reach me is email. I usually reply within a day, Dubai time. Happy to talk stablecoin payments, taking a product from zero to launch, or where to work remotely next.
