## What he does

AI engineer with 5 years shipping consumer software and developer tooling. Built the first universal skill installer for AI coding agents (1K+ GitHub stars, 12K+ npm installs) and solo-engineered Halaali, a mobile app with 500+ users, payments, and geospatial search. Now building evaluation + observability tooling for agent workflows.

He builds end-to-end. A single engineer shipped the mobile apps, backend, infrastructure, payments, and go-to-market for Halaali. The Ai-Agent-Skills CLI started as a single command and now ships 64 skills across 47 repos with 15+ outside contributors. He founded SkillCreator.ai, a local-first desktop IDE for evaluating agent skills across 8 runtimes.

## What makes him different

- Built the first universal skill installer for AI coding agents (`npx ai-agent-skills`). Launched December 2025, a month before skills.sh existed, the same day agent skills became an open standard. 1K+ GitHub stars, 12K+ npm installs, 15+ contributors, 12+ supported agent runtimes.
- Solo-engineered Halaali from scratch: iOS and Android mobile apps, Supabase and PostGIS backend, Stripe payments, admin portal, and marketing site. 500+ users, 1,300+ indexed locations, two partnerships with halal certification bodies.
- TEDx speaker at age 14 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Talk title: "I Love My School But..." on teaching economic literacy to children. 62K+ views on YouTube.
- Lived in Madagascar for two months in 2024, designing and building [awomada.org](https://www.awomada.org) on-site for a charity focused on sustainable development. Pro bono.
- Founded SkillCreator.ai, a local-first desktop IDE that turns prompt tinkering into measurable agent-skill comparisons. 6-dimension eval framework (correctness, tool selection, instruction adherence, latency, token efficiency, error recovery) across 8 agent runtimes.

## Projects

### Halaali

**Role:** Co-Founder & Sole Engineer  
**Type:** Mobile App (iOS + Android)  
**Dates:** 2024 to Present

Halal discovery app for iOS and Android. Solo-built the mobile apps, Supabase/PostGIS backend, Stripe payments, admin portal, and the geospatial data layer indexing 1,300+ restaurants and 180+ mosques.

- One engineer, full product. Solo-built the full-stack React Native app, Supabase edge functions, PostgreSQL schemas, Stripe payments, admin portal, and marketing site. Shipped to both app stores, grew to 500+ users.
- Built a geospatial data layer indexing 1,200+ restaurants across 2 countries with PostGIS, raw PLpgSQL, and Mapbox. Real-time location queries with WebSocket live updates and push notifications.

**Stack:** React Native, Expo, Supabase, PostGIS, pgvector, Mapbox, Stripe, WebSockets

### Ai-Agent-Skills

**Role:** Creator & Maintainer  
**Type:** Open Source  
**Dates:** Dec 2025 to Present

First universal skill installer for AI coding agents. Launched a month before skills.sh existed. Now a curation layer with shelves, provenance tracking, and team tooling.

- AI coding agents had no universal skill installer. Built and shipped the first one the day agent skills became an open standard, a month before skills.sh existed. Reached 1K+ GitHub stars and 12K+ npm installs in 4 months.
- Wrote a full terminal UI for browsing, installing, and curating 64 skills across 47 repos and 12+ agent runtimes (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor). One command replaces manual per-runtime configuration.
- Added a curation layer on top of the installer: shelves, provenance tracking, and tooling for teams to build and share their own agent skill libraries. 107 forks, 15+ contributors submitting PRs and skill packages.

**Stack:** JavaScript, TypeScript, Node.js CLI

### SkillCreator.ai

**Role:** Founder  
**Type:** Desktop + Web  
**Dates:** Dec 2025 to Present

Local-first desktop IDE for writing and evaluating agent skills. Turns prompt tinkering into measurable comparisons via a 6-dimension evaluation framework across 8 agent runtimes.

- No good tooling existed for writing and testing AI agent skills. Built a local-first desktop IDE with a 6-dimension evaluation framework across 8 agent runtimes, plus trace-driven debugging for agent runs. (See Engineering for the framework's six axes.)
- Electron app with Monaco editor, SQLite for offline-first performance, Redis caching, and OpenTelemetry tracing for agent execution observability. Next.js web companion with GraphQL API.

**Stack:** Electron, TypeScript, MCP, SQLite, Redis, Next.js, GraphQL, OpenTelemetry
