شازم (Shazim) means خوشی (khushi - happiness)

For quite a while till my late teenage years, I didn't know what my name meant. Whenever my mother was asked what it meant she usually replied "Oh it was the name of a persian prince!". I have yet to find this persian prince, even AI can't. In the meantime, I can thank my sweet mom and grandfather, as well as the arabic and persian languages, for my unique name and its meaning.

Do you know what your name means? Does it affect how you see yourself?


My natural disposition is to speak in polymathematical abstracts, which has prompted many to call me a philosopher. In the modern world however, a philosopher is rarely given a place anywhere. Currently I'm working as a Design Engineer at Xbox hoping to apply human-centric principles to create experiences that not only give the user what's valuable to them but also what's joyful to them.

I am ever in pursuit of that ikigai work path, that uses all my talents and passions optmially and most beneficially.
