I learn useful skills. Then I build with them.

I’m Raisul. I work across product, analytics, marketing and AI, and this is where I show what that turns into.

Build 01 · English-learning product

VocabCue

A visual English vocabulary app that helps learners move from recognising vocabulary to recalling and using it. Every card runs the same five-step loop.

Recognition is not recall.

Live

  1. 01See

    The meaning, made visible.

    Every card starts with a meaning-focused illustration.

  2. 02Understand

    The expression in context.

    A clear respelling, UK and US audio, a definition and a natural example.

  3. 03Recall

    Produce it from its meaning.

    The expression is hidden. Reaching for it is what makes it stick.

  4. 04Review

    Say how it went.

    Forgot, Almost or Got it decides when the card comes back.

  5. 05Remember

    Keep useful English for longer.

    Each card returns when it is due, and the loop starts again.

Collocation

widespread belief

WYD-spred bih-LEEF

an idea that a large number of people accept as true

Example

A widespread belief can persist even after strong evidence challenges it.

Five people, each thinking of the same lightbulb idea.
A real VocabCue card (LEX-000003) with its own illustration and UK and US audio. Try it: recall the expression from its meaning.

Where it shows up now

  1. 01 · Degree

    Engineering

    Electrical and electronic engineering gave me a foundation in systems, constraints and how parts work together.

    Systems, today: Systems thinking still shapes how I approach products and technical problems.

  2. 02 · c. 2018

    Web development

    I started learning web development around 2018. It didn’t become my career, but the foundation stayed.

    Web, today: I understand how websites, interfaces and digital products are put together.

  3. 03 · c. 2020

    Data analytics & data science

    I spent around ten months learning Python, data analysis, machine learning and the maths behind data science.

    Data, today: A foundation that makes AI, models and data-heavy problems easier to approach.

  4. 04 · 2021

    Digital marketing

    With university disrupted, I learned digital marketing as a practical skill I could turn into remote work.

    Marketing, today: How I think about users, positioning, distribution and launching products.

  5. 05 · 2022

    Remote work

    I joined a UK-based team remotely, and self-learning became professional work.

    Remote, today: Communicating, collaborating and delivering with a UK-based team since 2022.

  6. 06

    Web analytics

    Knowing how websites were put together made GA4, GTM and tracking much easier to pick up.

    Builds on 02 Web

    Analytics, today: GA4, GTM and measurement taught me to connect product behaviour with evidence.

  7. 07

    Product

    Marketing and analytics pulled me towards product management, from positioning and growth to deciding what to build.

    Builds on 04 Marketing, 06 Analytics

    Product, today: I combine user problems, evidence and priorities into decisions about what to build.

  8. 08 · Now

    AI + building

    AI is helping me reconnect earlier skills and learn development, system design and product building faster.

    Builds on 02 Web, 03 Data, 07 Product

    AI + building, today: I use AI to learn faster, connect disciplines and turn more ideas into working systems.

Output

Building something interesting too?

I’m always open to meeting other builders, founders, creators, product people and developers, and exploring thoughtful collaborations.
