01 — About
Engineering at the edge of web, security & AI.
A builder who pairs production web engineering with a cybersecurity and defence background — and a teacher who turns complex topics into clear outcomes.
I'm a full-stack web developer with a cybersecurity backbone, strong in TypeScript, React/Next.js and Python. I design scalable, serverless architectures and wire in APIs, LLMs and automation to ship products that hold up in the field.
Since 2009 I've served as a Lebanese Army officer, and for the last six years I've led the Military Academy IT Department — running secure, closed-network infrastructure and continuously testing learning platforms in restricted environments. I teach cybersecurity and AI integration to officers, translating threat awareness and responsible AI use into practical habit.
Whether it's a marketing platform, a secure legal portal or an officer training course, I care about the same things: speed, security, and clarity.
