Our Mission
Make AI a tool that builds futures, not just careers.
Our story
Why Proton exists
Most AI education stops at theory. Proton started because real skill comes from building real things.
Malik Ammar Akram Awan founded Proton to help learners in Asia move from passive consumption to active creation — to ship products, find customers, and become founders.
We believe the next wave of builders won't just use AI — they'll build businesses with it, right from where they are.
What we believe
Our principles
Practice over theory
You learn AI by building with it.
Asia-first
Talent here doesn't need to leave to build globally.
Founders, not employees
Skills are the start, ownership is the goal.

Founder & Lead Instructor, Proton
Malik Ammar Akram Awan has spent years building with technology and teaching others to do the same. He started Proton to close the gap between learning AI and actually shipping products with it.
His mission is simple: help builders across Asia turn their skills into real businesses — and become founders, not just employees.
