I am a high-agency Founding Engineer. I act as a "One-Man Agency" for non-technical founders: you focus on the business/sales, and I take full ownership of the technical lifecycle (Architecture, DevOps, Frontend, Backend).

I don't just clear tickets; I ship products. "Karim requires zero hand-holding" - My previous CTO.

My Proof of Work:

1. The Scientific Place (EdTech): Bootstrapped a platform to 230,000+ organic users. Handled 100% of the stack (Astro/React/FastAPI).

2. Himaya71 (Emergency Response): Architected a sub-100ms indoor pathfinding engine on low-end hardware. Won 20,000 AED in funding from UAEU (3rd Place).

3. AIWAY (Fintech): Built an AI-powered, self-healing crypto trading engine with real-time forecasting, multi-exchange execution, and noise-resistant news signal processing.

What I offer:

- Total Autonomy: I operate async. I don't need meetings to work; I need a vision to execute.

- Speed: I build from 0 to 1 by default.

- Stability: Golden Visa holder (UAE), looking for long-term contracts/retainers.

Expert software engineer with experience programming multi-threaded Windows XP/XPe/Windows 7,8,10,11 and Linux applications. I have used WPF/WCF/C#/C++/CLI .Net 3.x, 4.x,5.x, Win32 API, MFC, ADO, CUDA, OpenGL, DirectX, wxWindows and Linux. I am familiar with most of the Microsoft Foundation Classes associated with Visual C++ version 2008,2010,2017 , and STL and BOOST. Proficient or expert utilizing image processing algorithms, including kernel convolutions, the use of LUTs, JPEG 2000, OpenCV, 3D transformations, SIFT, SURF and other feature transforms. That coupled with my knowledge of real time video capture should make it very easy to quickly accomplish any task you wish of me. I have written and maintained several user level applications to provide complex information in an understandable and efficient fashion, along with necessary documentation on the operation, and limitations of the application. I am very conversant with several different database engines including Firebird/Interbase, and sqLite. I have utilized multi-processes Python for the last 12 years for scripting, OpenCV work, as well as creating cross platform GUI’s. Ever since Tensorflow nd pyTorch were open sourced, I have implemented from articles facial recognition, style transfer, inpainting, and denoising using convolutional neural networks I have 2 years of experience with QT 4 & 5

Location : NYC

Remote : In person preferred, but fine with remote!

Willing to relocate : No, but long commute is fine.

Technologies : Javascript, React, Python, Flask, Three.js

Summary : I'm a self taught/bootcamp trained developer who got into Three.js via my career in post production. I love 3D modeling and animation, but always wanted to make my models interactive. I love transit and urbanism, so I built a 3D NYC subway map and trip planner...

https://my3dtrains.com/

It's not quite formatted for mobile, and still has a few bugs (New year's resolution to fix them...), BUT, it works for most subway trips! It took forever to build since it was my first large project.

I'm also working on a particle based 3D music visualizer. Demo video available here...

Anyway, I hope my projects speak to my interest and ability in software engineering (specifically 3D applications, transit/urbanism/maps, and data vis). Hiring career switchers with no experience is not in vogue at the moment, but what I lack in experience I make up for in curiosity and creative thinking.
