In shortBusiness Development Executive · SpaceZero Limited · Dhaka, Bangladesh
I find where a business loses time, money or clarity. Then I design and build the fix.
At SpaceZero I conceived and built the Simpletree Data Intelligence Platform, the AI-assisted system that runs our real-estate client journey from first enquiry to after-sales. After office hours I built Subah, and I write and release Bangla pop. One rule runs through all of it: build, don't buy.

Subah and meThe maker, and what he made
Subah and me
I am real. She isn't. Her memory is.
Me · realSubah · an AI persona
Me Tanvir Israque
What I do by day
Deals. I am a Business Development Executive at a Dhaka architecture, property and design group, working as a systems architect and business intelligence analyst. I create enterprise-level solutions that report on the business and help its decisions: joint-venture feasibility, revenue projections, and the platform the company runs its client journey on.
What I do by night
Melodies. I write and produce Bangla pop, and I build the tools I wish existed.
My rule
Build, don't buy. When the tool I need does not exist, I build it. Subah is that rule applied to my own life.
An AI persona, and the face of an agentic platform that gives every AI I use one shared brain. I talk to her by voice or text, in Bangla or English.
What she represents
One person building the exact tool he needs. Her name means morning: the day begins with everything already remembered.
Why I built her
Every AI app kept its own notebook about me, and none of them shared. I was explaining my own life again every day. So I built one private memory and put it behind all of them.
She is openly an AI persona, and is credited as Subah Israque on nine of my songs. She isn't real. The songs are.
Project 01 · By nightAgentic AI platform · 2026
Subah One shared brain for every AI
An agentic platform that gives every AI I use one shared brain.
What was missingOne memory that every AI I use could share.
Every AI app keeps its own notebook, so each one forgets what the others know. I built one private memory of my money, plans, email, files and people, and put it behind all of them. ChatGPT, Claude, voice calls, Telegram and my own apps now read and write the same memory, so nothing has to be explained twice.
I say it once, in any app. Every assistant I use knows it a minute later.
ChatGPT, Claude, voice calls, Telegram and my own apps share it
Each conversation picks up where the last one stopped
Drafts and what-ifs never turn into facts
When a fact changes, the old version is kept with its date

How she is built
01One memory behind everything
Facts, plans, people, money and files in one private memory, searchable by meaning and by date. Every assistant reads and writes the same one.
02Private by design
The Vault is encrypted on my own device, and the server only stores ciphertext. Codes, PINs and card numbers are masked before anything reaches her memory.
03Nothing is sent without a yes
She drafts the email and sending waits for me. Every clean-up can be undone, and a deleted memory is gone.
Where she works
The app
Installs from the browser on iPhone and Android. Today, Talk, Planner, Finance, Email, Files and more in one place.
A voice call
One press of the Action Button and she is listening.
Telegram
I text her or send a voice note. She answers in text and in her own voice.
The Mac
A menu-bar clipboard that remembers what I copied on every device.
Claude and ChatGPT
Her memory plugs into both through MCP, the open standard they support.
Reminders
A quiet push at the right minute: the plan, the bill, the birthday.
13panels in the app, one memory underneath

18things she can do in the middle of a call

Project 02 · By dayBuilt for SpaceZero Limited · 2025 – present
Simpletree Data Intelligence Platform
One shared record for every client, from first enquiry to after-sales.
What was missingOne record of a client that sales, management and accounts could all trust.
A property sale in Dhaka runs for years. An enquiry becomes site visits, a unit choice, a payment schedule and instalments paid while the building rises. Simpletree, formerly PropertyPulse, puts that whole journey on one record that sales, management and accounts can all trust. I conceived, designed and built it largely on my own with AI-assisted development, alongside my business development role.
A typed React front end, a Node / Express API documented with OpenAPI, PostgreSQL with Drizzle ORM, object storage and database-backed background jobs.

israque music My own music streaming platform
Every song I have released, on a streaming platform I built myself. 36 songs out.
What was missingOne place of my own for every song I release.
Away from spreadsheets and systems, I write, produce and release Bangla pop. The platform holds every song with a preview and links to every store, and it installs like an app.
Project 04 · By nightFor my father · design.waliar.com
Kobita Studio কবিতা স্টুডিও
An app I built for my father, the poet Waliar Rahman. A poem goes in, a finished page comes out.
What was missingA way for my father to publish a poem without a designer.
My father, Waliar Rahman (অলিয়ার রহমান), is a Bengali poet. Kobita Studio turns one of his poems into a book page or a book cover, finished and ready to post. His poems indent every second line, and the app sets the Bangla exactly as written and keeps those indents. It is installable, Bangla-first, and built for one non-technical user on his phone.

Intern in January 2024, a permanent role within six months, Business Development Executive since.
I studied finance at North South University and joined SpaceZero, a Dhaka architecture, property-development and design group, as an intern in January 2024. Within six months I was offered a permanent role. Today I am a Business Development Executive who works as a systems architect and business intelligence analyst: I create enterprise-level solutions that report on the business and help leadership decide, from joint-venture feasibility and revenue projections to the CRM reporting it relies on.
Along the way I kept seeing where our sales process lost time and clarity, so I built the fix. Simpletree began as a sales and payment tracker called PropertyPulse and grew into a platform for the whole client journey. Building it taught me that with AI, the hard part of software is no longer the code. It is defining the problem clearly. That idea is now my research focus.
I grew up partly in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, finished school there, went to college in Jashore, and came to Dhaka for university and for work. By night I write and release Bangla pop.

Research directionSME AI Problem-Solving Framework
Build, Do not Buy
A framework for helping small businesses solve their own problems using artificial intelligence.
Core idea
AI has cut the cost of producing software, not just using it. An SME manager can now build a bespoke tool, so the real constraint moves from engineering skill to how clearly the problem is defined.
SME AI Problem-Solving Framework (SAPSF)
01Problem definition
Pin down the pain, who feels it and what success looks like.
02Data readiness
Check what data exists, how good it is and what must be captured first.
03AI tool selection
Choose tools and a build approach that fit the problem and the team.
04Design and build
Build the smallest working tool with the people who will use it.
05Governance and iteration
Add controls, review and measurement, then improve in cycles.
Iterate: each cycle sharpens the next problem definition.
Hypotheses
H1Bespoke tools outperform generic off-the-shelf software for SME problems.
H2Problem clarity is the strongest predictor of a successful build.
H3A structured framework improves outcomes.
H4Sector and region moderate these effects.
Method
Mixed methods, critical-realist stance
Multi-region SME case studies
Survey of 100+ SME managers
NVivo thematic analysis
t-tests, ANOVA and regression in SPSS
