My Story

I wasn't great at school, but if there's one thing I excelled at, it was fiddling around with computers. At 14, inspired by hacker movies, I started learning about cybersecurity—which gave me a deep understanding of how systems work at a young age.

It wasn't until my first year of university that I discovered my true passion: building software. I combined it with my love for gaming and, at 19, published my first Unity mobile game on both the App Store and Google Play. That moment of seeing something I created in the hands of users was transformative. I never stopped coding and learning since.

Today, with 9 years of experience across Quality Management, Food Tech, Supply Chain, and now AI Databases at Weaviate, I've built a career around creating robust, scalable systems. But what drives me most is building products that solve real problems— which is why I founded Jointly and WeProject on the side.

My Philosophy

“I'm not a special or unique engineer, and I'm too humble to consider myself one of the best. But what makes me different is that I'm a dreamer and a builder. I treat whatever I work on as my own product, always looking for ways to add my personal touch and impact. We're building the future, and I want to be part of it.”

What I Value

User-First Thinking

I always ask: “How would this help me and others? Does this solution make life easier?” Every feature should serve a real purpose.

Elevating Teams

My proudest achievement isn't a metric—it's the impact I've had on teams. I push for excellence and motivate others to try new things and grow.

Trend Hunter

I'm constantly exploring new technologies, frameworks, and AI-assisted workflows. Staying ahead of the curve is part of who I am.

Part of the Solution

I don't just do what I'm asked—I make myself part of the solution, thinking about long-term impact on both users and the team.

Why I Build Products

💰

Jointly

Born from my own need to manage finances with my fiancée (now wife) in Lebanon—a cash-based economy with multiple currencies where Excel sheets and mainstream apps just didn't cut it. What started as a personal tool evolved into a full-featured finance app with insights, AI features, and courses promoting healthy financial habits.

💒

WeProject

While planning my own wedding, I found myself juggling multiple apps—one for guests, another for the website, Excel for budgeting and gifts. I built WeProject as a challenge to create everything I needed in one place. When I showed it to a friend, he convinced me others would need it too.
