01 · About

Engineer by craft, builder by nature.

I'm a Software Engineer who turns real-world problems into clean, reliable software. I work across the whole stack: web and mobile interfaces, secure REST APIs and the databases behind them.

My recent work includes multi-role platforms with role-based access control, real-time dashboards and AI-powered assistants integrated through modern LLM APIs.

I pick the right tool for each product and ship it with attention to performance, security and maintainable code.

Sales and debt recording for small shops, with AI product recognition

Hawlkar

Small shops in Borama record sales and customer debts on paper. With Hawlkar the shopkeeper puts the sold items on a counter stand (a Raspberry Pi with an overhead camera) and presses Cash or Debt. The products are recognised from the photo and the sale goes to the cloud, where the owner checks it in the Android app. I co-founded Hawlkar (team of three) as CEO and led the product, web and hardware side. Android app on Google Play; a test stand runs in a shop and a 3-shop pilot starts in December 2026.

  • I wrote the Raspberry Pi stand software: capture, offline storage, Bluetooth relay when there is no Wi-Fi, nightly updates with rollback
  • About half of the Node.js API and most of the React admin dashboard
  • Google sign-in with admin approval, role-based access and an audit log
  • Subscriptions through Sifalo Pay (EVC Plus, Zaad, Sahal, eDahab); duplicate-sale protection on retries

Seeded with 604 real water points. Built by a team of three; I built the React Native reporting app and parts of the Next.js web app (landing page and dashboard). Won 1st place in a university competition.

  • USSD *999# reporting in Somali, no internet required
  • Live map, triage and analytics dashboard for government staff

  • Built frontend screens in Next.js, React and TypeScript
  • Connected the screens to the Node.js backend
