Welcome to my personal site.  For those unaware, I:

- Design/produce websites and solve all sorts of multimedia/web problems through my firm, Design Guru,

- Produce music and DJ as Abdul Smooth - releasing music through my record label, Indian Electronica.

I'm the Principal of 'Design Guru' - a Toronto-based web production firm concerned with building online spaces for communication that support communities whilst being easy to maintain and develop through time.

Specialized in a variety of Open Source Software, my particular focus with Design Guru is in using Joomla and Drupal - two Content Management Systems that go beyond simply organizing articles - instead acting as Application Toolkits that can facilitate online social networking and advanced data handling.

My experience with cutting edge technology yet high value for innovatively intuitive aesthetics has resulted in working with an international array of organizations across fashion, media, high-tech, non-profit, political, service and other sectors; including the California Institute of Arts, women's haute couture label JUMA, NYC non-profits the Project for Public Spaces and Echoing Green, the Liberal Party of Canada, among others.

In addition to my work with Design Guru, I'm an audio-visual artist (aka. Abdul Smooth) and own/run Indian Electronica, - a pretty unique record label, online community, radio station and festival (with events spanning 3 continents annually) that's focused on promoting music expressive of modern global-diaspora culture.
