I build the software
and I keep it running.
Senior Software Engineer with 9+ years shipping and maintaining production systems for retail, finance, and healthcare — from the first line of code down to the server it deploys on. Based in Al Ain, UAE.
Full-stack, but I also own the rack.
ROLE Sr. Software Engineer
BASE Al Ain, UAE
SINCE 2013
Most engineers stop at the code. I own the full loop — requirements, architecture, development, deployment, and the years of support that come after launch. That's what nine years of building business-critical systems for the same organization teaches you: software isn't done when it ships, it's done when it's still standing at 3am on a Friday close.
I split my time between application development and the infrastructure it runs on — Linux and Windows servers, VPS environments, networking, firewalls, VPNs, backups and disaster recovery. That dual view means the systems I design are built to survive their own environment, not just pass a demo.
My work has shipped across retail, accounting, inventory, HR, and healthcare — live systems used daily, not prototypes. Earlier in my career I built modules for a hospital information system, handling billing, pharmacy, and insurance integrations in a live clinical environment.
