Nasif Sufian

Co-founder Engineer AI Instructor Worldbuilder

I build the things that keep other things on schedule — a calendar tool for teams who can't miss a date, curricula that turn teenagers into programmers, and a 75-book dark fantasy universe that started as a hobby and outgrew the word.

Flagship Work

DateLift.ai

A B2B SaaS product I co-founded to solve a problem every deadline-driven team knows too well: important dates buried in documents nobody re-reads in time.

Actively building

We handle the dates.
You handle the duties.

Co‑Founder — Product, Engineering & Go‑to‑Market

DateLift automatically extracts every deadline, hearing, renewal, and milestone hidden inside contracts and case files, then syncs them straight into Outlook or Google Calendar. No re-reading, no missed dates, no spreadsheet of doom.

Built for legal and construction teams first — where one missed date has real consequences.

What it does
Extracts dates from documents and pushes them to your calendar automatically.

Teaching AI, code & problem-solving

I've spent years turning dense technical subjects into something students actually want to sit through — across NYC classrooms, weekend ML programs, and a self-paced course that's reached students worldwide.

01

Follow Us To Success

Lead Instructor teaching SAT Prep, Algebra, Geometry, Graphic Design, and Business Communication across multiple NYC high schools, including Flushing International High School, North Queens Community High School, St. John's High School Program, and BSMART. I run interactive, discussion-based lessons adapted for diverse learning levels.

AI & Coding Camps

I design and run hands-on AI and coding curricula for grades 6–10, building everything from classifier engines to full games in Python — no APIs, no fragile dependencies, just code students can actually run and understand.

Udemy — Memory Training

Created and published a memory training course teaching Memory Palace techniques, number systems, and real-world recall strategies to a global audience of over 20,000 students.

How I Work

Same instincts, three disciplines

// build

Ship the small, working version

Whether it's a product feature or a classroom exercise, I'd rather ship something small that works today than something perfect that ships never.

// teach

Make the hard part visible

Good teaching and good product design solve the same problem: taking something complicated and making the next right step obvious.

// world-build

Systems, even in fiction

Neverlasting's magic, politics, and factions are built with the same rigor as a codebase — every rule has to hold up seventy-five books later.

Author & Worldbuilder

Neverlasting / Owari No Nai

A dark fantasy universe, planned across 75 books

Neverlasting began as a single story and grew into a world with its own history, factions, and rules that have to hold for the long haul. Book 1, Neverlasting Origins, introduces the Grand Selection and the syndicates that control it.

I'm currently writing Book 2, Neverlasting Bonds, which follows Ichido and Hitomi as they're pulled into the Black Shadow syndicate under Vidar — a fifteen-book arc built around dismantling every syndicate from within.

Every character arc, timeline, and twist is tracked across the full 75-book plan before a single chapter is drafted, because a world this size can't afford to contradict itself nine books from now.
