Nasif Sufian
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.
Four ways to know me
Pick a lane — or read all four. Everything I do runs on the same instinct: build the working version, then make it hold up.
DateLift.ai
A B2B SaaS tool I co-founded that pulls deadlines out of documents and pushes them to your calendar.
Teaching
AI, code, and test prep — across NYC classrooms, weekend ML programs, and 20,000+ Udemy students.
Neverlasting
A dark fantasy universe planned across 75 books, plus games, visual novels, and escape rooms.
Get in touch
Product, teaching partnerships, or the strange overlap between all of it — I'm around.
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.
We handle the dates.
You handle the duties.
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.
Engineering & quantitative work
Before and alongside DateLift, I've spent my career in machine learning, quantitative modeling, and blockchain engineering — the technical foundation everything else is built on.
Quant Engineer — Liquid Stone Capital Group
Built quantitative models for risk assessment and portfolio optimization; applied ML and statistical methods to predictive modeling and backtested algorithmic trading strategies.
Machine Learning Developer — Sellta Group
Developed ML models for predictive analytics and recommendation systems; cleaned and processed data with Python, Pandas, and NumPy.
Blockchain Engineering — Fortune 500 & Consulting
Earlier in my career, I worked on blockchain architecture and engineering across Fortune 500 consulting engagements and financial services, before moving fully into machine learning and quantitative work.
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.
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.
Sentakku Academy
Machine Learning Instructor guiding students through data preprocessing, model building, and evaluation — regression, classification, and ensemble methods — using modern datasets and applied AI projects.
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.
Same instincts, three disciplines
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.
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.
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.
Neverlasting / Owari No Nai
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.
