Background
From unclear to working.

I started building websites in Dubai in 2011 and never really stopped building things. Along the way I ran a digital agency as managing partner, led operations as COO through a two-billion-dollar energy agreement, and co-founded an AI product. The through-line was never a job title. It was being the person who takes something from unclear to working. I keep the older craft work, and some newer experiments, at munirb.com.
A few years ago I went back to the technical side properly. It felt less like a change of direction than a return: I studied computer science before I studied business. Machine learning through Stanford, programming and databases through Harvard's CS50 series, and the applied data science work I'm publishing now. Not a career change, just the interesting problems moving back to where I started.
What that combination buys a client is unusual. The systems I build are technically sound, and they also survive contact with a real business, because I've run one. See the work for the specifics.
