I build production systems end to end: database design, backend services, web and mobile apps, and GIS platforms. The hard parts are what I enjoy most: data models, architecture and performance. Much of my work has served humanitarian organizations.

Selected projects
From an embedded database for .NET to GIS platforms and AI-assisted research tools: products I designed, built and led.
Project 19 · 2011 - 2026
XOD 2.0 — Embedded Database for .NET
XOD 2.0 is the rebuilt version of the embedded .NET database I first wrote in 2011. The old one stored plain XML per table and could read and write objects; the rebuild keeps that idea — native C# objects, data in files you can open, diff and commit — and adds ACID transactions with a write-ahead journal, three storage engines (XML, JSON and Brotli-compressed binary), B-tree and hash indexes behind a lambda query planner, and AES-256 encryption. Still embedded: no server, no port, no connection string.
Project 18 · 2025
INCANVAS-AI
A comprehensive vector design application integrating agentic AI for advanced generative capabilities and automatic Reinforcement Learning. This platform empowers users with intelligent design automation, allowing for the creation of complex vector graphics with adaptive, AI-driven assistance.
Project 01 · 2024 - 2025
TMT – AI Text-Mining Tool
This AI-powered application automates large-scale research workflows by integrating with search engines and social media platforms to scrape and analyze web/social media data. It extracts entities, events, and relationships, then structures the data into geospatially enriched datasets. The system processes raw data into actionable insights by visualizing events on interactive maps, timelines, and correlation graphs, while also generating analytical summaries and dynamic visualizations.

Skills & expertise
My approach to skills development
Throughout my career, I've cultivated a diverse skill set that spans technical development, data management, and soft skills. My expertise is built on a foundation of continuous learning and practical application across various domains and technologies.
While working in the humanitarian field, my technical expertise and support reached several countries including Yemen, Ukraine, Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Ethiopia, and Somalia. This global experience has shaped my approach to problem-solving and technology implementation in diverse contexts.
I believe in maintaining a balance between depth and breadth of knowledge. While specializing in certain areas like GIS and full-stack development, I also ensure I have working knowledge across adjacent technologies to facilitate effective collaboration and system design.
