05 / About

A little more about me

I started building for the web while studying computer engineering in Damascus, and grew into full-stack work for agencies, SaaS companies and product teams across the USA, the Gulf and Europe. Today I lead development on Dalelo, work as a full-stack engineer at ShrubHub, and run Builderization, my own software studio.

I care about the parts users never see as much as the parts they do: clean data models, secure APIs, fast pages, sensible deployments and backups. I design in Figma when a product needs it, and I build right-to-left Arabic interfaces as comfortably as English ones.

AI coding agents (Claude Code) are part of my daily workflow — always driven by written specs, tests and review gates, and with every change reviewed and owned by me. It lets a small team ship products such as Marhaba Syria and Ahaloop without lowering the bar.
