Adib Ahasan, founder of San Marco Media

I’ve been freelancing since I was a kid — helping my father run his garment import/export business, first with tech support, then with design, learning from his friends who were professional programmers and graphic designers. Somewhere in there I became a unicorn: the person who could do everything and slot into whatever role the moment needed.

I trained in tech and design professionally starting in high school, then went deep — through multiple colleges and a concentration in computer science, earning an associate’s and then a bachelor’s. I wanted the low-level knowledge on purpose, so I could make an impact at every level of a system, not just the surface.

I’ve never stopped evolving. Today that means putting AI to work for the people I serve — using it to reach goals, simplify infrastructure, and automate for real results, all while sharpening the mission and vision behind the business itself.

The journey

Three continents, one throughline.

1994 Dhaka, Bangladesh

Born in Dhaka — the start of a journey that would cross three continents.

2000 United Arab Emirates

Moved through Dubai, Sharjah, Umm Al Quwain, and Ajman. A private school that prized education planted a lasting obsession with learning, innovation, and technology.

2007 — 2008 Bangladesh

Back in Bangladesh while immigration papers for the United States came through the family.

2009 New York City

A neighbor — a professional web developer — sat me down with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The spark caught and never went out.

2010 St. Mary's City, MD

A year in southern Maryland before heading north.

2011 Philadelphia, PA

Landed in Philadelphia and have been in and around the city ever since — coworking, startups, networking, and agency life.

2014 San Marco Media

Made it official: founded San Marco Media to put a decade of self-taught range to work for clients.
