Crypto products, built by a trader

I'm Areeb Ali Khan, a crypto product strategist. I find the features traders need and ship them.

At iTechGemini I own two trading apps, Chart AI & Trade AI, with 100K+ downloads each. I built ARIB Research, five live market-intelligence tools, and I've traded these markets since 2021.

Two apps, 100K+ downloads each

Since November 2025 I've owned product for both of iTechGemini's trading apps. I find the feature, pitch it to the CEO, research how to build it, plan it with developers, brief the designers, check every backend response against the screens, clear the wording with legal and marketing, test it and launch it with the marketing team.

I also redesigned the home screen around how a trader actually moves: the path to a live signal went from three taps to one.

ARIB Research, my own platform

Outside work I built ARIB Research end to end, from data pipelines to interface: one research workflow that puts derivatives, on-chain activity, macro conditions, news sentiment and technical structure side by side, so a trader sees the context behind a price move.

All five tools are live and free while in beta. They're built with Python, FastAPI, React and Docker.

First, find it and pitch it

I spot the gap in my own trading, user feedback and competitor research, then pitch the idea and its value to the CEO and team. New ideas also go through the innovation group I sit in with the CEO and CTO.

Five tools, all live

The ARIB Research suite. Each started as a question I couldn't answer quickly with existing products.

Macro Intelligence on desktop: macro score, regime and key changes Macro Intelligence on a phone
Derivatives Intelligence on desktop: positioning regime, funding and open interest Derivatives Intelligence on a phone
On-Chain Intelligence on desktop: on-chain score and exchange flows On-Chain Intelligence on a phone
Narrative Intelligence on desktop: news tone and leading narratives Narrative Intelligence on a phone
Technical Intelligence on desktop: any crypto chart explained in plain English Technical Intelligence on a phone

One explainable 0–100 score for the global macro regime: dollar, rates, inflation, growth and central-bank policy, with what changed and why.

A note from me

I started trading crypto in 2021: spot first, then futures and DeFi. I came through the 2022 bear market and the NFT, layer-2 and AI cycles, and I've traded a funded prop-firm account under strict drawdown rules.

That's why I build the way I do. Most trading tools are made by engineers who've never traded, or by traders who can't build. If I wouldn't use a feature with a position open, it doesn't ship.

I joined iTechGemini in August 2025 as an intern and became Crypto Product Strategist in November, reporting first to the CEO directly and later through our product manager. For three months in late 2025 I also shared market analysis as a Key Opinion Leader at MEXC Global, then chose to focus fully on product.

Alongside work I'm studying for the ACCA, with the CFA next: finance training keeps my product decisions grounded in risk and numbers. I also work in React and Python, so I can build what I spec.

I'm looking for a crypto product role at a startup, exchange or fintech. I work remotely across time zones and I'm open to relocating for the right team. If that's you, I'd like to hear from you.
