I’m Musannif Zahir — most people call me Muchi. I am from the Maldives and am currently living in Bali, Indonesia.

I operate Bliss Dhigurah, a 19-room boutique hotel in South Ari Atoll, and I build the software that hotels like it run on. HotelOS sits above the PMS and pulls front office, housekeeping, F&B and finance onto a single surface. Tell & Go is the other half of the same idea — a travel concierge that helps people find the island that actually fits.

Working both sides is the point. Nothing ships to another hotel before it has survived a real one.

Before this I studied in the United States and spent several years there in a variety of software related roles. I’m a fan of running, scuba diving and traveling, and I’m always up for a good cup of coffee.
