Hassan Kamran
Founder & CEO, Big0 Dev
Army captain turned engineer turned published AI researcher. Hassan founded Big0 after seeing too many startups burn cash on agencies that shipped slide decks instead of software. He still writes code, talks to every client directly, and publishes peer-reviewed research in PLOS ONE and IEEE. No account managers, no handoffs.
