Open-source work.

Tools I built and contributions I made because useful software should move beyond a single client.

3 projects

Desktop media tool

Built independently

Navio

A private, local-first desktop media player and downloader with incremental library indexing, native high-performance streaming, playlists, managed yt-dlp downloads, and an MCP interface for agent control.

A modern VLC-style experience backed by a security-conscious Rust desktop architecture.

Offline-first PWA

Built independently

Quran0

A mobile-first Quran reader designed for focused reading and learning-order progression, with lazy-loaded scripture data, synchronized recitation, offline support, install prompts, themes, and adjustable typography.

Made a complete reading experience fast, installable, and dependable beyond a network connection.

Open-source contribution

Contributor

NurUI

Contributed an MCP server that exposes the component registry to AI tools, added installation workflows and tests, fixed a path-traversal vulnerability, and removed animation-frame and event-listener leaks across interactive components.

Improved both the developer experience and the security and runtime reliability of a growing UI library.

A self-taught path.

I built my engineering foundation through independent study and hands-on product development. Since 2020, I’ve gained professional experience by delivering production SaaS, ERP, POS, and operational systems, working with clients and teams, and contributing to open-source software.

Let’s build something useful.
