// WHO IS KING ASAD

Builder.
Shooter.
Visionary.

I'm a technology entrepreneur and photographer based in Kampala, Uganda — building digital infrastructure for markets that the world's tech giants overlook, and capturing the raw beauty of the world that exists in those same streets.

Every platform I build, every frame I shoot — it comes from the same instinct: see what others miss, and make something real from it.
