Flutter products
Thoughtful mobile apps with practical UX, APIs, auth, notifications and real backends.
Building, breaking & fixing things
I build useful things with code, circuits & curiosity.
Flutter apps, embedded systems, web products, self-hosted tools and practical experiments.

What I build
One toolbox.
One toolbox.
Many rabbit holes.
I like projects where software touches the real world — or where a tiny tool removes a very specific annoyance.
Embedded & IoT
ESP32, Arduino and Raspberry Pi projects where sensors, networks and code meet.
Web systems
Lean sites, internal tools, PHP/MySQL apps and WordPress where WordPress actually makes sense.
Servers & experiments
Self-hosting, Docker, networking, local AI and the occasional “can I run this on that?” experiment.
Selected work
Projects, not
Projects, not
portfolio filler.
A mix of apps, platforms and experiments I’ve designed, built or keep improving.
Flutter + Supabase
EthicPay
A clean expense-sharing app for groups and one-to-one debts, designed to keep the social accounting part simple.
Open project ↗
Lineage
A private family-tree platform with relationship discovery, multiple views, invitations and privacy-aware family data.
App
Quran Reels
A focused short-video experience for beneficial Islamic content, without the noisy social feed around it.
Audio
Ahlussunna Voice
A Flutter audio app with background playback, streaming, push notifications and listening history.

DIY Usthad
Hands-on notes and tutorials around Raspberry Pi, Arduino, ESP32, Linux, networking and maker projects.
Built in the real world
Not everything I build
Not everything I build
lives on a screen.
Before product apps and self-hosted experiments became a bigger part of my work, I spent years building physical interactive systems, automation and embedded installations.
Games you could actually touch, hear and stand on.
Built, installed and maintained multiple interactive games using Arduino, DMX lighting, addressable LEDs, load cells and sound sensors, along with maintenance work on AR games.
Moving mirrors for Sephora.
An interactive mirror installation using Arduino, touch sensors and linear actuators.
A 65-inch Magic Mirror.
A large-format Raspberry Pi mirror plus smart network signage and Android TV based digital signage installations.
From school RFID to retail spin wheels.
Projects have included Kinder interactive panels, a City Centre Dubai spin wheel, RFID school attendance, custom home automation, automatic water controllers, programmable infinity mirrors and IoT smart-lighting UI work.
Hardware taught me something I still use in software: once a project leaves your desk, “works on my machine” is no longer a strategy.
On the workbench
Always testing something.
The subjects change. The method usually doesn’t: understand it, build a small version, break it, then improve it.
01
Product experiments
↗
Small apps and tools with a bias toward useful over impressive.
02
Local AI + self-hosting
↗
Running useful services at home and understanding the plumbing underneath.
03
Better interfaces
↗
Making technical tools feel clear, calm and obvious to use.
04
Documenting fixes
↗
Because the weird bug I hit today will probably annoy someone else tomorrow.
From the notebook
I write down
I write down
what worked.
Short fixes, tutorials and useful notes — mostly written after I’ve already lost enough time to the problem.
Flutter
Flutter App Icon Missing After Changing Package Name?
A quick Android manifest fix for a launcher icon that suddenly falls back to the default.
Android
How to Completely Remove an Android App Using ADB
A practical cleanup workflow for Android apps when the normal uninstall path is not enough.
Git
Git — remote: Repository not found
Notes for diagnosing one of those tiny Git errors that can steal much more time than it deserves.
About me
Not a polished “10x engineer” biography. Just the useful version.
I’m Najad — an Electronics & Instrumentation engineer turned developer and maker. I started with circuits, controllers and physical installations, then gradually moved deeper into Flutter, web systems, servers and product development.
That mix still shapes how I work: understand the whole system, keep the interface simple, and make the thing survive outside the demo. Most of what I know came from building something, breaking it, figuring out why, and writing down the fix.
Principle 01Useful beats flashy.
Principle 02Simple is a feature.
Principle 03Own the stack when it helps.
Principle 04Share the fix after you find it.
Have something interesting?
Let’s build something useful.
I take on selected development and technical projects when the problem is a good fit.
