Hi, I'm Faris — a software engineer with an interest in cybersecurity. I've spent close to 8 years in the field, and I'm currently working as a software engineer building a platform that automates UGC creator campaigns, from the order all the way to publishing at the click of a button.
Along the way I've built complex systems for a range of projects and clients — including financial and ERP systems for the nonprofit sector, donation solutions, and a complete, ZATCA-compliant e-invoicing system built from scratch. Alongside that, I'm finishing my Computer Science degree at Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University.
