Hey

I'm a senior software engineer based in Baghdad, Iraq. I've spent the last five years shipping production web apps — the kind that real people use every day — with a soft spot for fast, restrained interfaces and backends that don't fall over at 3am.

Most of my work lives at the intersection of SvelteKit / Nuxt on the frontend and Go on the backend. Right now I'm building things I'm proud of at Qi and Vitex.

Outside of work I'm usually deep in a book, chasing a side project, or somewhere I haven't been before. If any of this sounds like your kind of person — let's talk.
