Journey

The six months

Started · January 2026

January 2026. Six months of software engineering with AI as my assistant, through vibe coding: dedicated, heavy and intense.

  1. 01

    Foundations first.

    I learned the algorithms and the basics before anything else.

  2. 02

    Write it. Then read it.

    Writing code, and learning to read other people's.

  3. 03

    Search. Build. Break. Again.

  4. 04

    Build the machine.

    Salty webs, my freelance web studio, and the system it runs on: my software engineering skills, with AI as my assistant.

  5. 05October 2026

    Ship it.

    Sidr, Rattib, PRIME SALT and this site.

High-end websites, built to be worth every riyal. This site is the proof that my work and self-study paid off.

    1st place · Soor 2026 CTF

    Student category · Soor Cybersecurity & AI Competition, 2nd edition

    Soor 2026 was an amazing experience. It was long, but I never felt the time because I enjoyed every moment. In our team of three, I was the soul of the team: keeping everyone motivated, and capturing the second-most flags. The hardest part of a CTF isn't one challenge. It's going deeper without falling into rabbit holes, when the right path sometimes feels wrong and you keep going with no results. We never gave up: in the last 10 minutes, we captured 7 flags. When we won, I was in shock. I hadn't even dressed for the stage.
