# About

I'm a software engineer who's spent the last 8+ years building the unglamorous, load-bearing parts of Saudi Arabia's digital infrastructure — payment rails, identity, regulated systems, and the back-of-house plumbing that businesses bet on.

Today I'm CTO at Jaras.io, a SaaS for hotel and serviced-apartment operators across KSA: unified booking dashboard, direct-booking sites, online payments, channel/OTA sync, and guest messaging.

# I care about: correctness over cleverness · idempotency · observability · small APIs · teams that ship.
