The Story

I’m a PHP Developer and a Linux user since 2011, passionate about building technology that creates real-world impact. Over the past few years, I’ve worked extensively with CiviCRM, contributing over 4,000 code changes.


I believe in resilient engineering, open collaboration, and human-centered innovation — whether it’s through a line of code or a local initiative that connects lives.

Ameer Initiative

In 2023, amid the Gaza war, I co-founded Ameer, a family-run internet service providing affordable connectivity to underprivileged families. We've remained operational for 1.5+ years against all odds.
