About

I'm a versatile full-stack developer and technical leader with over 25 years of experience shipping products across web, mobile, and cloud platforms. I've worked as CTO, tech lead, and solo developer - building everything from food delivery platforms and adtech systems to educational tools and casual games.

I started with architecture studies at Lebanese University before switching to computer science at the American University of Science and Technology. That background still shapes how I think about structure and systems.

I'm based in Canada and always interested in challenging projects that push boundaries.
