About

whoami

B.Sc. Computer Engineering student at the American University of Sharjah, graduating December 2026. I build full-stack web applications, REST APIs, Chrome extensions, and systems-level programs in C/C++.

I care about both the product layer and the infrastructure underneath — from normalized PostgreSQL schemas and JWT auth flows to multithreaded concurrency, network enumeration, and privilege escalation research.

Currently building SmartExpense (Next.js + FastAPI + PostgreSQL + Docker). Certified by ISC2, Cisco, and EC-Council. Previously a STEM Engineer at Fun Robotics, Dubai.

Fluent in Arabic and English. Based in Sharjah, UAE — available remotely worldwide.
