How I build
I independently drive a project from spec to a live, production-grade product in roughly 3 days, and feature-complete in about 10. I build scalable, zero-downtime systems through spec-driven development, sound system design, and security-minded engineering, paired with deep research and efficient, hands-on use of Claude Code and agentic AI workflows.
Experience
Scientific ↗
May – Aug 2026Software Engineering Intern, Full-Stack Web Development · Remote (Saudi Arabia) · Summer 2026 Co-Op
- Solo-engineered and shipped a production bilingual website (Arabic-first RTL and English) for a Saudi pharmaceuticals and medical-devices firm on Next.js 15, React 19, TypeScript, and Sanity CMS, reaching production in 3 days and feature-complete in 10 across 71 commits, owning spec, architecture, build, and deploy with no technical management.
- Architected a fully static (SSG) site with on-demand ISR revalidation for zero-downtime deploys on a lean $21/month footprint, letting non-technical staff publish through an embedded Sanity CMS with no redeploy.
- Hardened a serverless contact pipeline with Upstash Redis rate limiting, Cloudflare Turnstile, a durable CMS-write-before-email guarantee, and a read/write API-token split so the public path can never mutate data, all covered by roughly 48 Vitest and Playwright tests.
- Built a multilingual SEO system (hreflang and canonical alternates, Organization/Product/FAQ JSON-LD, IndexNow and Bing submission) and tuned KSA mobile Core Web Vitals, taking a previously unindexed domain to full search visibility.
- Engineered SFDA and PDPL compliance into the product (product-specific disclaimers, registration-number governance, a bilingual privacy policy) behind a four-workflow CI/CD pipeline with release-gated production deploys.
- Delivered the go-to-market package beyond code: a bilingual brand and letterhead system, a low-budget KSA marketing playbook, and custom-domain email (Resend SPF/DKIM), all delivered solo across US and Saudi time zones, languages, and a regulated industry.

May – Aug 2025Technical Documentation Intern · Remote (Saudi Arabia) · Summer 2025 Co-Op
- Authored and maintained technical documentation and process standards that supported knowledge transfer and consistency across the engineering team.
Owens Community College
Sep 2023 – May 2024Peer Advisor, International Student Services · Perrysburg, OH
- Built executive-level Excel dashboards that cut manual reporting time by roughly 35% for office leadership, and advised 60+ students in Arabic and English in a high-stakes, people-first role.

Projects
Company Profile Plugin
GitHubI open-sourced the patterns behind the Scientific build as a Claude Code plugin: 10 skills, 2 review agents, 3 commands, and a guardrail hook. It ships as a self-hosted plugin marketplace with a tunable compliance and invariant system.
Clinical Trial Matching
GitHubAn agentic, spec-driven demo that ingests ClinicalTrials.gov studies, extracts eligibility criteria with a spaCy/SciSpaCy NLP pipeline, and matches patient profiles to trials with explainable results. It adds provenance tracking, terminology-grounding safety, and FHIR ResearchStudy export.
SMB Cash Flow Risk Engine
GitHubA full-stack demo that scores unpaid invoices for late-payment likelihood, surfaces collections recommendations with ML evidence, and projects cash-balance scenarios. FastAPI + PostgreSQL backend, Next.js + React + TypeScript frontend, containerized with CI/CD.
