About me

I’m building my software engineering career from a foundation of real-world operations, customer service, and technical problem-solving. Running a business taught me to spot friction, ask the right questions, and build around what people actually need—not just what looks impressive.

I communicate fluently in English, Arabic, and Spanish, and I’m especially interested in software that improves operations, support, security, and everyday decision-making.

PRACTICAL
How I work

Curious, practical, and comfortable starting small.

I learn fastest by turning concepts into something usable. My approach is to understand the problem, build the simplest reliable solution, test the edge cases, and improve it from feedback.

01 · Understand

Start with the user’s real problem

Clarify the goal, constraints, and what a useful outcome looks like.

02 · Build

Make the logic work clearly

Break the task into small functions and keep behavior easy to follow.

03 · Improve

Test, listen, and iterate

Check mistakes and edge cases, then refine based on real feedback.
