    Bio

    I build and run WordPress at newsroom scale, mostly on AWS, and write up what breaks. My open-source tools are usually the Arabic ones nobody else has hit yet.

    Interests

    Arabic on the web, newsroom systems, WordPress on AWS, design systems, open source

    WordPress Origin Story

    My WordPress work began in 2011, as the only web developer at a UAE newspaper. Since then I’ve built newsroom platforms on WordPress and AWS, and in 2025 I founded ManTek to build them for others.
