Message

At a confidential fintech platform, I engineered a payment engine with a fully auditable balance ledger to manage transactions and user funds. I also built backend APIs and user-facing, back-office, and admin apps for a platform serving thousands of active users.

At Sahla Solutions, I developed services for a ride-hailing platform supporting 25k drivers. I implemented geospatial matching and live location tracking, and built a double-entry ledger to record rides, commissions, and payouts.

As a freelance software developer, I built the Nusuk.sa website and an Electron touchscreen kiosk app for live events. I also taught full-stack web development at Code213 and Gomycode, guiding students through capstone projects.
