About

Python developer with a focus on backend systems and automation. Started out building Discord bots, reaching 80k+ servers with one. These days I'm exploring agentic AI workflows and developer tooling.

What I'm up to

• SimCord - a discord.py testing/mocking framework
• Sirat - plan journeys taking taking into account prayer stops at mosques along the way
• Mosque Times - tracking jamaat times for mosques across the UK
• ReRide Car Guesser - A car guesser game with Wordle-style and picture-guessing modes
• GuildMate - coming soon Inshallah...

Writing

I occasionally write about the things I build.

• Sirat: A route through time and place
  The story behind building a prayer-aware journey planner that plans UK road trips around mosque stops and changing jamaat times.

• Testing Discord integrations offline with SimCord
  Introducing SimCord, a framework for testing Discord bots entirely offline without the Discord API.

• When "roughly similar" became a scaling problem
  Lessons from scaling a Postgres-backed system and why "roughly similar" turned out to be a much harder problem than expected.
