Backend developer at Al Buraq Development Studio maintaining APIs with 99.5% uptime and building race-free event booking.
IraqAt Al Buraq Development Studio, I develop and maintain Node.js and Express REST APIs backed by PostgreSQL, handling 10,000+ daily requests with 99.5% uptime. I also deploy production infrastructure on AWS EC2 with Nginx and PM2.
I built Kursi, an open-source event-booking API designed to prevent overselling, and published Budgi, an offline-first personal finance app, on Google Play. I moved into software from pharmacy through Harvard's CS50 and full-stack bootcamps.
