Who I Am

More than
a developer

I'm Yousuf — Senior Solution Architect at AWJ Systems, founder of Yousuf LTD in the UK, and Administrative Manager at SMALO Law Office since 2014.

I build AI solutions for enterprises and governments, architect SaaS products for global markets, and lead engineering teams through complex deliverables. I believe technology should carry cultural weight, not erase it.

Somewhere between sprints I paint with watercolors and read anything I can get my hands on.
