02 // About Me

Turning ideas into thoughtful software — from MVPs to real-world products.

I'm a full stack engineer (React, TypeScript, Node) who ships complete products — a café analytics platform, a creator payments app, an AI tool that matches rare-disease patients to clinical trials. What matters to me isn't just making things work — it's making them feel calm, clear, and dependable. Design and engineering working together, not fighting each other.

macOS App · Launching soon

HUDHUR

A native macOS menu-bar app that gently brings your attention back to Allah while you work: an hourly dhikr reminder that opens a calm popover, then gets out of the way. No streaks, no counters, nothing to maintain.

I had never written Swift before. I designed the product, the identity, and the landing page, and shipped the app end to end — menu-bar behaviour, reminder scheduling, SwiftUI popover, and release prep.

Role:Designer & Developer
Stack:Swift, SwiftUI, macOS
Operations Platform

Caf-Ops

A real-time operations platform for cafés. Built to solve everyday pain points: tracking waste, managing multiple sites, staying on top of stock, and organising shifts.

I designed and built the waste-tracking system, turning a slow, manual task into a clean, two-click workflow.

Role:Founding Engineer
Stack:Convex, React, Square POS

A monetisation platform for athletes and creators, focused on simple fan support and digital gifting.

I spend time with the things that keep me curious — history, architecture, photography, and design. They slow me down, give me perspective, and influence how I approach my work.
