About · Umer Qureshi

From $5 logo jobs to shipped AI products.

A 5-star, multilingual business & tech consultant whose work spans 15 countries — combining Generative AI with Lean Six Sigma problem-solving to grow real businesses.

The Journey · Waypoints, not a résumé

Five waypoints.

  1. The $5 start.

    Started as a young freelancer learning Photoshop at a software startup. First logo: five dollars, after 17–20 revisions. Built profiles on Elance, oDesk, Vworker — and learned the internet is the greatest free university ever built.

  2. Engineer’s mind.

    Finished a Master’s in Mechanical Engineering (HITEC University Taxila) while freelancing to pay tuition — and learned to solve complex problems clearly.

  3. The craft.

    Mastered WordPress and SEO; helped dozens of clients climb the rankings; grew CustomBulkUSB.com (a co-founded IoT flash-drive startup) with analytics and engineering principles.

  4. The discipline.

    Earned a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt; trained medical-device and industrial companies; made “define the problem first” a habit that never left.

  5. Now.

    Co-founder & CTO at Analytics AIML with my mentor Frank Shines. I build AI agents that run marketing (AEO/GEO) and a portfolio of live products — and I’m writing the book on doing it right.

The Throughline · If I can, so can you

Most AI fails before a single model runs.

Don’t let AI leave you behind. Embrace the evolving market, use AI to fuel your growth, and build authentic relationships that deliver real results. Small businesses win by being agile and innovative — I help you do exactly that, with a plan you can measure.

“If I can, so can you.”
