Summary
Abdul Rahman, fifth year medic at UCL, and Tariq Jamal, fourth year computer scientist at UCL, are creators of the app 'Pillars'. November 2020 saw a huge controversy around a leading Muslim app that involved data being sold to third parties without permission from the users. Consequently, that became a light bulb moment for our guests today, who saw a clear niche to solve this problem. Tariq, who at the time was already working on app development, was encouraged by Abdul Rahman's design ideas to materialise the concept. With no financial investment, and a transparent development process via social media, the support for their app rocketed immediately.
