From the Founder
Ahmed Barouni
Founder
I'm Ahmed. I run XSRank solo — finding focused problems and shipping small software that solves them well.
One tool, one job, done exceptionally. That's the whole studio.
Follow the studio as it ships.
New products, lessons from building in public, and the occasional behind-the-scenes look — straight from the founder.
