Projects

Founder-built products that show range.

Products I founded and shipped for the Saudi market and Arabic-first users, from finance and Umrah to construction, education, and jobs. Each one solves a real problem I ran into myself.

Proof

A builder with production judgment and founder speed.

Seven years shipping production software and six founder-built products in market, with the backend, automation, and documentation behind each one.

AI Insights

Visual explainers that turn AI systems into clear mental models.

Infographics I made to explain agentic engineering, private AI assistants, AI agents, and developer tooling choices. Open any of them without leaving the page.

Agent Systems

OH-MY-CLAUDECODE

One model working alone becomes a coordinated team once agents, skills and shared memory sit on top of it.

  • Nineteen specialized agents and thirty-nine skills cover backend, security, QA, research and documentation.
  • Persistent project memory carries context, decisions and session history between runs.
  • Hooks fire at every step: before and after file edits, commits and test runs.
  • Multi-AI orchestration runs Claude, Gemini and Codex in parallel inside tmux.

AI Systems

Agentic Engineering Operating Model

Shipping real systems with AI agents takes an operating model, not a better prompt.

  • Eight stages run from goal definition through execution teams, quality gates and human approval to a feedback loop.
  • Only one authority owns a loop at a time, whether goal, execution or quality.
  • Quality, security, performance and compliance gates run continuously instead of at the end.
  • Memory spans working, semantic, procedural and episodic layers shared across every agent.

Private AI

Build Your Own Private AI Assistant

Most local AI setups fail because they stop at chat, with no memory, no planning and no way to act.

  • Six layers stack up: interface, model, agent, automation, vector database and knowledge sources.
  • A worked example stack pairs Open WebUI, Qwen3, Hermes Agent, n8n and Qdrant.
  • The six failure modes are named directly, from forgetting everything to never taking action.
  • Everything runs on your own machine, with no internet requirement and no cloud dependency.

AI Agents

Hermes Agent

An agent that writes its own skills from experience gets better the more you use it.

  • A closed learning loop captures experience, extracts a skill, saves it, then applies it again.
  • It runs where the work already happens: Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal and the command line.
  • Six backends are supported, from a local machine and Docker to SSH, Modal and Daytona.
  • Open source under an MIT license, with a native desktop app for macOS, Linux and Windows.

Developer Tools

AI Coding Tools Comparison

Claude Code for deep reasoning, Codex for fast execution, OpenCode for open control, Pi for building your own agents.

  • Claude Code rates highest overall on large codebases, architecture and refactoring.
  • Codex is the execution agent, strongest on speed, parallel tasks and GitHub integration.
  • OpenCode is the open-source route: self-hosted, multi-model and highly customizable.
  • Pi is an agent construction kit with the most flexibility and the steepest learning curve.
