Introduction
I'm Arushad Ahmed, Co-Founder and CTO of Javaabu Pvt. Ltd. and Co-Founder of DhivehiGPT. I'm a Maldivian technology entrepreneur and AI researcher passionate about building innovative digital solutions that address local challenges and create meaningful impact. At Javaabu, we develop software, AI-powered platforms, and digital products that support businesses, government institutions, and communities. Through DhivehiGPT, we're working to make artificial intelligence more accessible in the Dhivehi language and contribute to building a homegrown AI industry in the Maldives. I hold an MSc in Artificial Intelligence from the University of St Andrews and am a Commonwealth Scholar and recipient of the Maldives National Youth Award for Entrepreneurship. I'm particularly interested in AI research, language technology, digital transformation, and strengthening the Maldivian startup ecosystem. I'm always happy to connect with fellow entrepreneurs, researchers, and innovators to exchange ideas, share technical expertise, and explore opportunities for collaboration.
