Lead backend engineer & founder · Riyadh

I build backends where reliability and security matter most. These days, that means leading backend engineering for a cybersecurity product, running RAIQ, and building Adraa Inbox alongside a few other products.

Before that, I spent nearly seven years building and running ProBot, growing it to millions of Discord servers. That experience taught me how to scale systems, lead a team, and build software people rely on. I started much earlier, in the forums era, running a hosting company. That’s where I learned about servers, infrastructure, and keeping things online.
