About
I'm a software engineer based in Duhok, Kurdistan. I build AI-powered systems and custom web platforms for businesses across the Kurdistan Region — in three languages.
Where I work from
I live and work in Duhok in the Kurdistan Region. Most of my client work happens locally — Duhok, Erbil, Sulaymaniyah, Zakho, Halabja — with monthly travel for kickoffs and major project moments.
I take international remote clients too, but Kurdistan is the focus. The reason: the things that make my work valuable here — Kurdish language, RTL UX, local-government reporting, dual-currency, and an understanding of how trust actually works in local business — are exactly the things off-the-shelf software gets wrong.
What I actually do
Four lines of work: AI automation, custom systems, AI consulting, and AI SEO / AEO (getting cited by ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini). I lean on AI heavily because it's currently the highest-leverage tool a small business has — but only when it fits. I'll tell you when it doesn't.
My most-shipped product is motelsystem — a multi-tenant hotel platform live in production with paying customers. 33 weekly production waves shipped, full multilingual EN/AR/KU customer experience, end-to-end government-compliant reporting, walk-in flow, deposits, dual-receipt printing, the works. It's the proof that I ship and maintain real things, not slide decks.
How I work
Fixed-price for defined scope. Written proposals before contract. Weekly written updates during a project. 30-day bug-fix support after launch is included free.
I almost always build alone. For larger projects I bring in trusted collaborators on contract — designer, junior developer, translator. You always have one point of contact: me.
Languages and stack
I work fluently in English, Arabic, and Kurdish. Most projects ship in all three.
Stack defaults: Next.js (App Router) + TypeScript + Supabase (Postgres + Auth) + Cloudflare Workers/Pages + Tailwind. I add LLM providers, WhatsApp Business API, Stripe, and other integrations as the project demands.
Why I'm betting on Kurdistan
Generic Western SaaS and generic Middle Eastern dev shops both miss the same thing: how Kurdistan businesses actually run. I'm betting that going deep on one region with three languages beats being shallow across five.
The thesis is simple: as AI assistant adoption grows in Kurdistan, businesses will start asking ChatGPT and Claude for local experts. I want to be the answer they get back.
