AWSWhat I'm about.
I'm a Platform Engineer at Apple. I work on the Kubernetes infrastructure other teams build on top of, mostly making sure it doesn't fall over.
I founded Marin CoWork and ran it profitably for a few years, writing all the software myself: CRM, payments, API management, analytics, and design. Before that I got an EE degree at San Francisco State.
Right now I'm building Co-Lease, a group-first way to rent a place. Also shipping Tijara, and running a couple of trading bots on the side. I keep gravitating toward housing and markets, problems that feel too small or too niche for anyone else to bother with.
Otherwise I'm probably messing with AI agents and skills, at the mosque, or reading something about markets.

“Less, but better.”
- Dieter RamsCo-Lease
Co-Lease treats the renter group as the unit instead of the individual. Roommates pool income, see what they actually qualify for, and apply with a single packet to listings pulled in from Zillow, Craigslist, and other sites.
Tijara
Halal investing means checking a stock against a long list of rules, and the data you need for that is scattered across a dozen sources. Tijara runs any equity through AAOIFI's screens: business activity, financial ratios, tangibility, zakah, all in one pipeline.
Trading Bots and Analysis
Two systems trading live on Alpaca. One uses a Gaussian HMM to detect market regimes and adjusts positioning off that. The other is Claude-driven, running its own research and tuning its own strategy over time. Both backtested extensively before either went live.
