- I worked for Mark Manson on purpose.app. He’s someone whose work shaped how I think about life years before I ever thought I’d be in the same room as him. Kind of wild.
- I started The Chalant Society. It’s like the Socratica.info for social courage. every week I take strangers to lunch and help them get out of their comfort zone through social challenges. The same fears I used to have, I now help others work through: https://www.instagram.com/thechalantsociety

Please tell us about a time you most successfully hacked some (non-computer) system to your advantage.
- I hacked the traditional campus marketing system by turning myself into a walking billboard for my app, Orbit. I wore a giant QR code linking to our Discord server across campus every day for weeks: https://photos.app.goo.gl/V2BrX1nzapNhVq7RA
- It led to spontaneous conversations, rapid user growth, and even a local news feature: https://livewirecalgary.com/2025/04/18/ucalgarys-qr-code-wearing-superhero-to-launch-his-loneliness-solution-in-fall-2025/
- started that a year ago, but i still do it to this day for getaudora.app, The Chalant Society (https://www.instagram.com/thechalantsociety/), and several others of my products
Please tell us in one or two sentences about the most impressive thing that you have built or achieved.
- Not a specific product, but the rippling effects of the work that I’ve done on myself over the past few years
- The kind words that i sometimes get from people who i managed to inspire and motivate to make a change in their own lives.
- Even if i fail in everything that i set out to do, i know that I’m leaving a trail for others to follow or at least get inspired and learn from. Whether it’s my experimental content that i share on my socials like https://youtube.com/@ramimaalouf, https://www.instagram.com/psycho.baller/, and https://www.linkedin.com/in/rami-m, or the products that I build under https://orbitlabs.studio, or the community that I’d go all in if i didn’t also have the ambition to build something people want
List any relevant or impressive test scores
don’t really have anything impressive. I never cared about grades. I spent most of my time building things and trying to sell them, sidequesting, and traveling for hackathons. I still managed to keep my GPA above a 3.7
