Hey, I'm Mo 👋🏾

Building stuff with Java & Spring Boot | Austin, TX

🚀 What I'm Building

Right now I'm heads down on NiyyahMatch - a Muslim matchmaking app that's intentionally different.

The idea? You can only have one active match at a time. No endless swiping. No paradox of choice. Just focused, meaningful connections.

The Stack: Spring Boot • PostgreSQL • React • JWT The Goal: Launch to 50-100 real users in Q1 2026

I'm in the middle of building out authentication and the match lock system. It's my first full production app, and honestly, I'm learning a ton as I go.

→ Check it out on GitHub

💻 Tech I Work With

Java Spring Boot PostgreSQL MySQL Selenium Git

Currently getting better at React and diving deeper into system design.

🎯 Where I'm At

Just wrapped up my apprenticeship at Apple where I worked on Radar - the internal bug tracking system thousands of Apple engineers use daily. Got to ship real features and see how production systems work at scale.

Now I'm:

  • Building NiyyahMatch from scratch (backend → deployment)
  • Sharpening my Spring Boot and API design skills
  • Looking for my next role as an Associate SWE

I love backend work - there's something satisfying about building the infrastructure that makes everything else possible. Databases, APIs, authentication, the whole stack.

📖 A bit about my path here (if you're curious)

I grew up in a refugee camp in Sudan for thirteen years. No electricity, no internet. When I got to America, I didn't speak English and had never used a computer.

The journey was messy but it worked:

Started in manufacturing → saw an automation script register users automatically → thought "wait, I want to do THAT" → bootcamp in Virginia → Year Up (400+ hours grinding Java and Spring Boot) → apprenticeship at Apple.

Now I'm building NiyyahMatch and looking for what's next.

What keeps me going:

I was the only person from my village who made it out. That weight never left me. I know what it's like to be on the outside looking in - whether from language, background, or just not fitting the traditional tech mold.

So I build things with that in mind. Tech should work for everyone, not just people who already look like they belong.

💬 Let's Talk

Open to Associate SWE opportunities and always down to chat about:

  • Building real products people actually use
  • Backend development (Spring Boot, APIs, databases)
  • Breaking into tech from non-traditional paths
  • Sudan, resilience, and finding your way

Hit me up on LinkedIn - I usually respond pretty quick.

Building with purpose, one commit at a time 🤲🏾
