- i build things.
- products, mostly — a way to rent a home with friends, a halal stock screener, trading systems that run themselves.
- by day, i keep apple's kubernetes clusters from going down — the kind that can't.
- i think the best software gets out of your way.
- and that the best problems are the ones nobody builds for, because the market looks too small.

AWSWhat I'm about.
I'm a Platform Engineer at Apple, keeping large-scale Kubernetes infrastructure alive — the kind of systems that have to stay up when millions of people show up at once.
I've always built things. I founded Marin CoWork and took it from zero to profitable, writing every line of software myself — CRM, payments ($27M+/yr), analytics. Before that, an EE degree at San Francisco State.
Products nobody else bothers with. Right now that's Co-Lease — a group-first way to rent — alongside Tijara and a pair of self-running trading systems. Markets, housing, and the infrastructure beneath them.
Usually in my AI lab building apps, bots, and skills — or at the mosque, or deep in a book about markets.

“Less, but better.”
— Dieter RamsCo-Lease
Can't afford a place alone? Team up. Co-Lease makes the renter group the unit — verified roommates pool income, see what they actually qualify for, and apply with a single packet to listings aggregated from Zillow, Craigslist, and beyond.
Tijara
Halal investing is hard — the data's scattered and the rules are strict. Tijara validates any equity against AAOIFI standards through a multi-stage pipeline: qualitative screening, financial ratios, tangibility, and zakah.
Trading Bots and Analysis
Two trading systems running live on Alpaca — one reads market regimes with Gaussian Hidden Markov models, the other is AI-first, running its own research and optimization loops. Both backtested to the hilt.
