ali@dev:~$ whoami

Hi, I'm Ali. I build products end-to-end and run them in production.

Full-stack software engineer based in Riyadh, working across web, mobile and the cloud underneath. Co-founder & CTO of a fintech startup. Some of my products are live, and some are still being built.

A bit about me

I'm a software engineer (B.Sc., KFUPM) who likes owning the whole thing: design, build, deploy, and the dashboards that tell me when something's off. I've shipped with Next.js, React Native, NestJS, ASP.NET Core and Spring Boot, on Azure and Cloudflare.

By day I look after CEER Motors' digital channels. Outside that I build my own products and lead engineering at Ayo, an earned-wage access platform, where I work with a team of AI agents that handle analysis, implementation and review.
