For 5+ years I've turned ideas into software products, national education programmes and games. I work out what people need, then bring the right people together to build it and keep it running.
Platforms and apps, from the first spec to launch.
Club software that was one booking calendar, rebuilt into the platform Jordan's biggest padel community runs on, and a new player app.
Health passports for animals, shared with their vet.
Software kept in the owner's name. This site runs on it.
Education programmes, run with government and foundation partners.
A national game-development programme for public schools and universities, in the areas with the least access to technology. Delivered by Dimensions Games Studio, funded by Endless Access.
| Planned | Actual | |
|---|---|---|
| Learners | 1,500 | 1,548 |
| Governorates | 2 | 10 |
| Instructors | 6 | 16 |
The programme's national conference at the University of Jordan: a 48-hour game jam and a pitching competition, under the patronage of the Minister of Education.
A game-development training programme with the Abdul Hameed Shoman Foundation, taught in Arabic and English, from a first idea and a pitch to a playable game.
Games set in worlds from the region, and one that trains Aramco's new hires.
A roguelike on Arab and Bedouin aesthetics, with power-ups named after local food. On the App Store and Google Play.
A card-driven tower defense in ancient Petra.
Teaches new Aramco hires their facility's rules.
Is this my place?
A talk about the question you ask yourself at every step of your life.
Watch the talk →I build things people use, and bring together the people who make them work.
It started at the University of Jordan, where I chaired the Dimensions Society, the student community that became my games studio. I joined String Education as an intern and was leading 12 engineers across three countries by the time I left. Since then I've founded Dimensions, a product studio, and run Empowering Education in Jordan with the Ministry of Education and the Crown Prince Foundation.
Most recently I took S3i, an Antler-backed AI startup, from concept to a market-ready product, and rebuilt the platform Jordan's biggest padel community runs on at Vyltic.
I started playing padel on the app I was building, and the tournaments became the best part of my year.
Otherwise it's basketball, football, video games and writing.
