Engineer by trade, product person by habit.
I started the way a lot of builders do — with WordPress sites for small businesses in 2019, then a four-month MERN bootcamp where I shipped more than ten projects, from an offline-first React app to a typing game for JavaScript keywords. That stretch taught me the habit I still rely on: build the thing, put it in front of someone, learn, repeat.
At CareerLabs I grew from SDE I to Technical Lead over three and a half years. I was a core developer on CareerWizard, owned the Elev8 mobile app, streamlined its build and distribution pipeline, wired up product analytics across Mixpanel, CleverTap, Facebook and Branch, and led R&D on a metaverse campus experience. Along the way I picked up three Excellence in Engineering awards and learned how much of engineering is really about people — mentoring, sprint planning and saying no to the right things.
Since 2023 I've been at Copperpod AI, first as a full-stack developer and now as a senior engineer. I've owned around fourteen projects end-to-end: OneUnit+, a veterinary blood-donation network spanning a pet-parent app, a hospital inventory app and an event-driven notification system; an ERP that got dramatically faster once heavy work moved off the main thread; a real-estate product rebuilt around smart caching; and the company's own website. These days I spend most of my time on R&D for agentic workflows — figuring out where LLM agents genuinely earn their place in a product.
Outside the day job I build my own products. I founded Labbyk, a website builder for Umrah and Hajj agencies, and co-founded Yalla Hajji — a marketplace and companion app for pilgrims, live on the App Store and Google Play — along with HaniGo, a food and grocery delivery app for smaller towns with zero platform fee, and makemyapp, a studio that takes founders' apps from idea to app store.
Research has always run alongside the building. During my BCA at Al-Ameen I co-authored WIMB, a live bus-tracking app published in 2017, and built Identify, which used facial recognition to help reunite missing children with their families. For my MSc in Computer Science at Christ University (2024–26) I built Auth3D, a platform to digitally sign and verify 3D models, and presented the paper at ICTIS 2026 in Bangkok.
Outside of work I'm in the gym more often than not — I'm a certified fitness trainer and nutrition specialist — and the same consistency-over-intensity mindset carries over to how I build software.
A few things I believe about building software
Lazy, on purpose
I'd rather spend a day researching than a week rebuilding. Before writing code I map out the different ways to build it, pick the optimal one, then build it once — saving time and cost.
Own the outcome
Tickets are a means. I want to know why a feature exists and whether it worked after it shipped.
Pixels matter
I'm a visual person. I put extra effort into the UI and UX — spacing, motion, the small details — so the product feels pleasing and effortless to use.
