About

The engineer you want owning it at 3am.

I'm a backend engineer with 10 years building systems across mobility, education, fintech and enterprise software. The domains change; the work tends to live where getting it wrong is expensive: a ride-hailing trip that must have exactly one winner, a live lesson that can't drop, an exam whose marks have to be trusted, an order that must never double-fill, a migration that can't lose a row.

I've architected platforms holding 100K+ concurrent users, led the move from monoliths to service-oriented systems, and set the database-performance and CI/CD standards that teams around me build on. I care about modelling the business before the code, resilient consumers, and the kind of observability that turns a 2am incident into a quick answer instead of a long night. I also mentor, most recently 8+ engineers on system design, clean architecture, and testing.

On my own time I build products end to end: a ride-hailing platform live in Jordan, a self-hosted platform that runs my household, and tools that keep coding agents honest.
