# whoami
I'm Hamad Al Nuaimi — a software engineer based in the UAE. I build software for a living and for fun: products, side projects, internal tools, and the occasional client engagement when the work is interesting.
# philosophy
Good software is opinionated, well-engineered, and designed by someone who actually uses it. I prefer small teams, sharp tools, and shipping over perfecting. I'd rather spend two hours making the right decision than two weeks polishing the wrong one.
# now
Heads-down on a product launch. Spinning up a small services arm for select work. Reading more, shipping more, optimizing for signal over noise.
● OPERATING_PRINCIPLESgrep -r
[ 01 ]
Ship working software. Polish later. Done is better than perfect.
[ 02 ]
Engineer for the next person who reads the code — including future you.
[ 03 ]
Boring tech beats exciting tech. Use what works, not what's trending.
[ 04 ]
If a problem can be solved by deleting code, that's the right answer.
[ 05 ]
Taste is a real engineering skill. Care about how the thing feels.
[ 06 ]
Speed compounds. Move fast in the early loops, careful in the final ones.

Shipped 12+ projects
Full-stack applications, internal tools, and AI-powered features in production.
2022 — 2024
Engineering @ early stage
Closed the loop on what good product engineering looks like under constraints.
2018 — 2022
Software engineer
Cut my teeth on real systems, learned the difference between shipping and demoing.
PRE-2018
First lines of code
Started with curiosity, kept going because the puzzles never ended.
