About me

I am an Informatics student at the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague and a current student at 42 Prague, focused on writing reliable, maintainable software through practical, project-based learning rather than theory alone.

My strongest experience is in C systems programming, C#/.NET desktop development, PostgreSQL database design, and full-stack web development with ASP.NET, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, applying object-oriented design, data structures, and software design principles to build software that behaves correctly under real constraints.

I am interested in backend engineering, systems programming, networking, cloud technologies, and automation. At the moment I am expanding into computer networking while preparing for the CCNA certification, and deepening my Docker skills.

Languages Arabic (native) · English (B2+, professional working proficiency)

  • Backend

    REST APIs, client-server architecture, and maintainable C#/.NET code.

  • Systems

    C, Linux, POSIX, process management, memory debugging, and shell projects.

  • Databases

    PostgreSQL, ER modeling, normalization, constraints, and SQL reporting.
