01About

I build software from the database to the last pixel.

I care about the parts of a product people never see, and the parts they touch every day. Here’s the short version.

  1. 01 Studied

    Computer Science at UKH

    My degree from the University of Kurdistan Hewler gave me the fundamentals I still lean on every day: algorithms, data structures, databases and how larger systems fit together.

  2. 02 Working

    Software Engineer at Base Agency

    I work mostly on the web, helping design and build a custom CRM platform that makes everyday business work simpler for the people who use it.

  3. 03 Building

    Apps of my own

    I also design and build mobile apps. One connects people with therapists. Another, Zman, teaches English to Kurdish speakers through short daily lessons.

05Design

I care about how software works, and how it feels.

Good engineering makes software dependable. Good design makes it worth using. I want both in everything I ship, so I pay attention to the details on both sides of the screen.

  1. 01

    UI / UX

    Clear paths, fewer decisions, no dead ends.

  2. 02

    Interaction design

    Every click, tap and hover should answer back.

  3. 03

    Visual hierarchy

    The eye should know where to go before the mind has to think.

  4. 04

    Motion

    Animation that explains what happened, never decoration for its own sake.

  5. 05

    Accessibility

    Keyboard, screen readers and contrast are part of the build, not a final pass.

  6. 06

    Simplicity

    Most good interfaces are the result of things removed.

  7. 07

    Product thinking

    Start from the problem and the person. The components come later.

06Now

Always learning. Always building.

I like staying close to what’s next. I try new frameworks, languages and tools early, build small things with them, and keep whatever earns a place in my work.

  • Emerging tech
  • New frameworks
  • Interaction design
  • Mobile & web

07Contact
