Meet the Founder
Hey! I'm the founder of Strion here. You may know me by Afiqur, or by Shamael. My name is Shamael Mohamed Afiqur Rahman and I'm legally known on documents as SM Afiqur Rahman. Yes ik...😅
Grew up in the busy city of Dhaka with tons of family and friends. Pursuit of higher education brought me to Canada and now hoping to make some positive impact in the intersection of artificial intelligence, automotive and carbon tracking technologies!
Gears and Wheels
Learnt to drive using the exact same car as on the right, circa 2007-08. 70’s Corolla, under powered, standard transmission, what a fun little nugget! Was in grade 5 going into grade 6. Good times.
Though honestly, the love for gears started wayyy before that...
As you can tell.
Special Thanks
Strion thanks its volunteers: Timothy Gooseney, Duncan Mathieson, Rushidan Islam, Logan Oram, Aysha Dairi, David Broders, Nick Rowe-Mahn and Ken Murphy of Bakyard Mech in Portugal Cove for their invaluable contributions in the early pivotal developmental phase with their suggestions, inspirations, expertise and time.
