About
I started programming at 14, and by 17 I've already built and launched multiple SaaS products as a Software Engineer. My journey has been unconventional — I left school to fully dedicate myself to coding, learning by building, and creating real products that impact users.
I'm currently a Software Engineer at Pathway Solutions, where I lead and collaborate with ICT developers to build modern web and mobile applications. I develop management and financial systems within the NetSom Product Suite, using TypeScript, React/Next.js, React Native (Expo), PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Prisma/Drizzle, and production deployments on a self-hosted PaaS using Docker. My focus is delivering scalable, secure, and high-quality software for enterprise and financial environments.
I also founded Alpha Journal, an AI-powered trade journaling platform for crypto and forex traders. From product strategy to design and development, I’ve led every stage of its build and growth.
Previously, I worked at TheChain Limited as a Full Stack Developer, where I redesigned the GoTask system into Idaara, added GitHub integrations, built AI analysis features, and improved the Somali Government eBusiness Portal. I also spent time at Litavo (Web3/crypto) and have been working as a freelance web designer since 2022.
I thrive on continuous learning and shipping real products. My goal is to keep building impactful software that helps teams and businesses grow.
