Who I Am

I'm an Engineering Team Lead and Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer based in Jeddah. I've spent the last 7+ years shipping cloud-native web applications, workflow automation, and technology for enterprise and government — hands-on across backend, frontend, cloud deployment, technical leadership, and business analysis.

Today I lead cross-functional squads at Penny Software, where I'm the engineer in command for the Royal Commission of Makkah City & Holy Sites project. Before that, I led the IT & GIS team at Jeddah Municipality's Investment Agency.

Off the clock I run Arab Gaming Network on YouTube — because the same curiosity that drives good engineering drives good games.

SIDE QUEST

Arab Gaming Network

When I'm not shipping software, I'm DeSTRoYeR — creating gaming & hardware content in Arabic for over a decade: brand events with Nvidia & MSI, workshops at YouTube Space Dubai, and reviews from the RTX 2080 Ti to a solar-panel-cleaning robot. Games taught me systems thinking before engineering school did.
