StatusOpen to work

I got into programming because I liked understanding how things work — that's still what drives most of what I build. Over the past few years I've been working independently, building backend systems, Telegram bots, and tools that connect AI models to real data.

One project I kept coming back to was MCP — a protocol that lets AI models use external tools and live data sources. I built an MCP server for Arabic academic research because the gap was obvious: millions of Arabic research records with almost no AI-accessible tooling around them.

Before going independent I taught OOP at Hajjah University for about seven months. Explaining code to students turned out to be good practice — it forces clarity that carries over into how I write and structure systems.
