Saudi Arabia · Mobile, web, full-stack product engineering

Shipping production software at a pace most teams need a squad for.

I work across mobile, web, and backend — using AI as a multiplier, not a replacement for thinking. The goal is always the same: something that works correctly and holds up over time.

Experience

Early-stage engineer who owns products end to end — from schema design to App Store.

I work best in teams where implementation quality matters as much as the architectural decision behind it.

Full Stack Developer

Nisfak

Worked inside an existing Flutter codebase, led a UI overhaul, and cut iOS CPU usage in half by profiling and optimising hot render paths with iOS Instruments and Flutter DevTools.

Writing

Working notes on architecture and interface decisions.

Draft in progress

The gap between a Flutter app that looks cheap and one that feels considered is rarely about features. It is about typography, motion, color discipline, and a handful of decisions most developers skip.

Draft in progress

Coupling, Boundaries, and Shared Domains

What actually goes wrong when you ignore bounded contexts in a growing codebase, and how to draw lines that hold up under real product pressure.

Draft in progress
