About me
I'm a builder at heart, someone who thrives on turning abstract ideas into functional, well-architected products, especially when AI is at the core. I think in systems, not just lines of code, which means I naturally look for ways to build faster, smarter, and more efficiently without sacrificing quality. I'm deeply passionate about the intersection of full-stack development and artificial intelligence, and I love exploring how these two worlds can merge to create something genuinely useful. My approach is highly iterative: I believe the fastest way to learn and improve is to build, ship, gather feedback, and iterate relentlessly. I'm not afraid to break things, rewrite them, or challenge conventional approaches if it means getting to a better solution. I care deeply about clean architecture, real-time experiences, and building products that people actually want to use. Beyond the code, I'm driven by a genuine curiosity about how things work and how they could work better. I enjoy solving complex problems, whether it's optimizing a database query, designing a responsive UI, or integrating a cutting-edge AI model into a production pipeline. I believe that great software is a blend of technical precision, user empathy, and creative problem-solving.

ScholarshipHub
ScholarshipHub is an AI-powered platform that solves the scholarship crisis for Middle Eastern students. Students waste 20+ hours searching scattered scholarship databases, struggle with eligibility requirements, and submit weak applications due to lack of feedback. Our Solution: 1. AI Matching Engine - Input your profile (age, country, GPA, interests) and get scholarships ranked by fit (0-100%). See your top 5 matches in minutes instead of 20+ hours. 2. AI Document Coaching - Upload your CV or personal statement. Claude AI analyzes your document across three dimensions: overall quality, ATS compatibility, and competitiveness. Get specific, actionable feedback. Track your improvement from Draft 1 to Draft 2. 3. Application Journey Tracker - A step-by-step roadmap for each scholarship with deadline countdown, document checklist, and status tracking to keep you organized. Why It Works: - Validated with 44 real students: 91% interested, 88% want AI coaching, 55% willing to pay - Full-stack MVP built in 7 days using AI-assisted development - 234 scholarships in database, fully deployed and live - Qualified for USAII Hackathon finals (top 20 out of hundreds) Impact: Scholarship coaches cost $2,000-$5,000 (inaccessible to most). ScholarshipHub makes professional-grade coaching available to everyone at $3-5/month. Each scholarship win is $50K-$200K in funding that changes a student's life. Our Goal: Help 100K+ Middle Eastern students find and win fully-funded international scholarships within 2 years.
