About me

I build and run the whole stack.

React, Spring Boot, Laravel and Flutter, on servers I operate myself. As founder of Novus I take products from data model to production and keep them running, with a focus on application security and full Arabic / English right-to-left delivery for healthcare, government, retail and marketplace platforms in Palestine.

10

years fixing hardware

7

live Novus products

20

sites on our own servers

Arabic is my first language and I work in English. Before software I also volunteered as a paramedic with the Palestinian Medical Relief Society, 2020 to 2023.

The repair shop, 10+ years

Ten years of fixing things before I started building them.

A decade repairing phones, computers, and laptops. Thousands of devices, every failure mode you can imagine.

I didn’t come to software through a textbook. I came to it through a workbench: phones, laptops, cameras, networks. That’s where I learned how systems actually break, and how to make them work.

Field, networks

Fibre, networks and CCTV

Fibre-optic splicing, network build-out and CCTV installation: cabling, power, IP cameras, and the networking behind them.

Ops, business

The gaming café

Ran a gaming café managing LAN networking and 20+ machines: uptime, performance, and a room of people who’d tell me the second something lagged.

Birzeit University, 2022 to Feb 2027 (expected)

B.Sc. Computer Science

In my final semester: the core courses and the graduation project are done.

The project, a Healthcare Insurance Management System, became the foundation of MediGuard.

Novus

Founder & Lead Developer, health insurance

MediGuard

Claims administration for health insurance. Providers join under contracts, members and their families enrol in plans, and claims are settled against a benefit engine.

I designed the data model and built the backend and the web front end: an eleven-state claim lifecycle, a rules engine that turns policy documents into coverage rules, and field-level encryption with an immutable audit trail. Members use the companion Android app.

• Spring Boot
• PostgreSQL

The till keeps working when the internet drops.

Today, founder

Novus

Novus is the company I founded in Ramallah. Software first: web platforms, mobile apps and custom systems. Under them, the infrastructure that keeps them running: networks, servers and hosting, cameras and security systems.

I lead the software and the infrastructure. Most of what we build runs on servers we operate ourselves, and when something breaks, our clients call the people who built it.

Most developers start with the code. I started with the machine it runs on.

I founded Novus to do all of it under one name: the software first, then the networks, servers and cameras it runs on. Our systems run on our own platform in Ramallah: Windows servers with Caddy behind a Cloudflare Tunnel, each app a monitored service, on PostgreSQL and MariaDB, with nightly backups.
