01 — About

Full-stack engineer, then AI engineer

Three years at gtlogic taught me how to ship production software — Ember.js and Node.js on the surface, REST and GraphQL underneath. I'm building on that now as a full-stack engineer at an eSIM startup.

Since January 2025 I've paired that with an MEng in AI and Machine Learning at AUB — the same instinct for how systems behave under real conditions, now applied to models instead of services.

Where I've worked

Client work at gtlogic is under NDA, so these describe what I was responsible for rather than what was built.

  1. Full-Stack Software Engineer

    Aug 2026 — Present

    eSIM Startup

    • Build and ship features for a consumer eSIM application on an ASP.NET Core 10 backend with a React frontend and PostgreSQL storage.
    • Implemented Stripe payment flows covering checkout, plan purchase, and transaction handling.
    • Introduced Redis caching on high-traffic reads, keeping response times low as usage grows.

  2. Full-Stack Software Engineer

    gtlogic · Antelias, Lebanon

    • Owned end-to-end delivery of features on SIMON, Vimly's benefits administration platform, covering quoting, enrollment, eligibility, billing, and payments.
    • Rewrote the data access behind slow legacy endpoints as tuned SQL Server queries, cutting response times by roughly 60% on the heaviest requests.
    • Built SIMON interfaces in Ember Octane with Ember Data over a REST adapter, backed by Node.js services on SQL Server.
    • Worked directly with product and design to turn requirements into scoped technical plans, and resolved production incidents at their root cause.

  3. Telecom Intern

    Jul 2022 — Aug 2022

    Dar Al-Handasah · Beirut, Lebanon

    • Trained in the installation and commissioning of IoT devices across a building.
