About

The engineer behind the code

I'm Abdulrhman Jamal — a Senior FullStack Engineer based in Amman, Jordan, with over 10 years of experience building digital products from the ground up.

My journey started in 2015 as an intern at Tamatem Games, where I got my first taste of building real software. From there, I moved through the entire modern JavaScript stack — React, Node.js, React Native — and kept going into AI integration, DevOps, and system architecture. Along the way, I've built ride-sharing platforms, AI-powered applications with 150-entity schemas, and everything in between.

I've led the technical direction for startups, architected platforms from zero, and consulted for companies across the MENA region. Each role taught me something different: architecture taught me to think in systems. Founding a startup taught me to ship fast. Consulting taught me to listen first.

I believe the best software is built by engineers who understand both the code and the business. The ones who can architect a distributed system AND explain the trade-offs to a non-technical stakeholder.

When I'm not coding, you'll find me exploring vim configurations, experimenting with Raspberry Pi projects, or sharing what I've learned through writing. I believe in building things that last — which is why this site is called the Obsidian Forge.
