Building thinking
machines & the
people who use them.

I'm a software developer and chief developer who escapes weekends into Arduino, motors and 3D-printed chassis — and unwinds with games. Currently building tools for everyday Muslims, ADHDers, and curious teens.

§ 01 — What I do

Four practices, one workbench.

01 /
Software Developer
Full-stack web & systems work. Pragmatic code, clean architecture, things that ship.
typescript react node python postgres
02 /
Chief Developer
Leading engineering teams. Setting technical direction. Owning what gets built — and why.
architecture team-lead code-review mentoring roadmap
03 /
Robotics & Electronics
Arduino, 3D printing, motors, sensors. Where software meets the physical world.
