About

Adnan Ali, Senior Software Engineer

I'm Adnan Ali, a Senior Software Engineer and Team Lead with over six years of experience shipping production web applications in Next.js, NestJS, and PostgreSQL — from a national food-ordering platform to AI products serving thousands of monthly users and regional marketplaces across the UAE and KSA.

I hold an MS in Computer Science and lead a small engineering team at Frizhub. I enjoy the parts of the job most people find tedious: designing APIs that hold up under real concurrent load, untangling schemas that have outgrown their original design, and turning ambiguous product asks into something a team can actually ship.
