Staff Software Engineer · Amsterdam, Netherlands
Staff Software Engineer with 10+ years building and scaling iOS apps used by millions. I care about three things: fast builds, stable apps, and teams that ship with confidence.
I grew up tinkering — taking things apart to see how they worked, then building something new from the pieces. That curiosity never left. Today I live in Amsterdam, where I split my time between building apps, 3D printing whatever my kids dare me to make, and keeping a small garden alive against all odds.
I've spent the past decade building across the Apple ecosystem — from apps that reached #1 on the US App Store to products used by millions. Commercially, I've shipped apps at BleacherReport, Niceone, Iqraaly, NewStore, and Marktplaats (eBay), with deep experience in ecommerce. On my own time, I build things I care about: Sajda brings Quran recitations and prayer times to Apple TV, Tally turns your TV into a scoreboard for game nights, and Tateemi helps Saudi parents track vaccinations. I also started SwiftCairo — Egypt's largest iOS developer community — and LintSchool, where I've mentored 50+ developers.
When I'm not writing code, you'll find me reading, telling stories to my kids, or starting yet another side project I'm convinced the world needs.
