Freelance Software Developer · Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

const focus = "desktop tools & automation";

I build desktop applications and automation tools that solve real workflow problems — from a historical backtesting engine for crypto markets to a full project-management dashboard for freelancers. My work spans Java, Python, and C#, usually with a database underneath and a clean UI on top.

I recently graduated high school and I'm now focused on freelance work through Upwork, with C# and Unity study on the side to push that same "structured, data-driven" thinking into game design.

a look at what I've shipped

01 CryptoBacktester view on GitHub →

A Python-based historical backtesting engine for cryptocurrency markets. Downloads OHLCV data from exchanges, caches it locally with SQLite, and simulates trading strategies against real market history.

  • Realistic trade execution — next-bar open, exchange fees, slippage
  • Gap-detection that extrapolates missing exchange timestamps
  • Full trade ledger with performance reporting

  • Modern UI with JavaFX, styled using AtlantaFX
  • Clean architecture, managed with Apache Maven
  • Custom validation logic and FXML layouts
