Developer · Cybersecurity Student · Builder
I live in Gaza. I build AI-powered products and document everything — the wins, the failures, the 2 AM debugging sessions. Because building from here isn't a limitation. It's a perspective.
My current project is Provia — a platform that gives any store owner an AI sales assistant. It knows their products, speaks in their brand's voice, handles returns and shipping questions, and talks to customers in their own language. I built the entire platform in 8 sessions and shared every story. One article about a pajama bug got me 1,000 followers.
"Every API call counts when you don't know when the power goes out. Every token matters when your budget is your own pocket. That constraint makes you build better software."
I'm not a CS grad. I'm a cybersecurity student who watches tutorials, breaks things, and Googles errors at 2 AM. But building real products teaches you more about security than any textbook. Every API I wrote unprotected, every prompt injection I caught, every RLS policy I messed up — those are the lessons that stick.
