01 — About

Who I am

A bit of context before the code.

I'm a developer based in Mafraq, Jordan, and Co-CEO of RuhulStudios.

Most of what I build starts as curiosity — a protocol I wanted to understand, a tool that didn't exist yet, a system I wanted to see the inside of. That's how RuhulBot and Mosaic-X both started.

I work mainly in Python and JavaScript, and I care about the parts users never see: the security model, the failure states, the thing that happens when the network drops. If you're building something and want it done properly, talk to me.

What I can build for you

Three things I do well. Anything adjacent, just ask.

Web Applications

Full-stack builds from a blank repo to a deployed product — or rescuing one that's already in trouble.

React & Next.js frontends
REST and GraphQL APIs
Database design and optimisation
Deployment, CI, and monitoring

Typical engagement: 2–8 weeks

Bots & Automation

Discord bots and automation tooling built to survive real traffic — the area I've spent the most time in.

Custom Discord bots
Moderation and anti-abuse systems
Scraping and data pipelines
Third-party API integrations

Typical engagement: 1–4 weeks

Security & Reverse Engineering

Understanding how something actually works — then hardening it, or documenting exactly where it breaks.

Code and architecture review
Authentication & crypto implementation
Binary and protocol analysis
Written findings you can act on

Typical engagement: scoped per case

Cryptography

Mosaic-X

A cryptographic suite that replaces text passwords with visual cryptography. It derives entropy from image pixels, binds it to hardware fingerprints, and builds a key from the result.

Building Mosaic-X: passwords made of pixels

Why I stopped trusting text passwords, and how visual cryptography bound to hardware fingerprints became a workable alternative.
