Hello, I'm
Product Owner & Business Analyst at Staq
I own product backlogs end to end — turning business needs into user stories engineers can build from, then testing what comes back before it reaches production. I sit between stakeholders and developers and keep delivery honest. At Staq I do that where a requirements error moves real money, and outside it I am sole developer for seven IEEE-affiliated conference websites. Computer Science graduate and published AI researcher, based in Amman, Jordan.

I work at the intersection of technology and business, and what I actually do most days is product ownership: deciding what gets built next and why. At Staq I own the product backlog — running requirement sessions with stakeholders, writing the user stories and acceptance criteria engineers build from, protecting scope mid-sprint, and testing what comes back before it reaches production. Requirements there arrive carrying security and regulatory weight, which has made me precise about acceptance criteria and sceptical of anything that cannot be verified — habits that travel to any product where being wrong is expensive.
A good deal of the job is investigative. When something breaks, the useful question is rarely "is this broken?" but "is this the product, the configuration, the data, or the environment?" Getting to root cause before escalating saves engineers hours they would otherwise spend chasing a problem that was never theirs. I have come to think the most valuable thing a product owner produces is often a clear, reproducible account of what actually happened.
Alongside that I am the sole developer and administrator for seven IEEE-affiliated academic conference websites, covering everything from the server up to the page. It is the part of my work with the sharpest feedback loop: when an author emails to say they cannot register for a conference, there is no ambiguity about whether something is broken.
I also build tools for the job itself. Sprintwise is my own product for product owners: it scores user stories for sprint readiness against nine fixed rules, with a reason for every point lost, then measures how much the sprint changes once the team commits. It connects to Jira Cloud, so it works on a real backlog. Building it end to end, from requirements to tested releases, keeps me honest about the gap between what a story says and what a team can start.
Before Staq I was a Business Data Analysis Intern at Samsung Electronics Levant, working on MCS datasets and acting as business analyst for a sales organisation restructure on the N-ERP system. I also co-authored a peer-reviewed study in Frontiers in Psychiatry, a Q1 Scopus-indexed journal, on nurses' anxiety and attitudes toward Generative AI in clinical settings.

What I work with
Some of my work
Peer-reviewed research
Co-authored study examining how anxiety shapes nurses' acceptance of Generative AI in clinical settings. I designed the survey, coordinated data collection and ran the statistical analysis identifying the key drivers of adoption, then helped translate the findings into training and policy recommendations for ethical clinical integration of AI.
A product tool for the two questions every sprint review should ask: were the stories ready, and did the team stick to the plan? Nine fixed rules score each user story out of 100 with a reason for every point lost, catching the AI-drafted story that reads well but isn't ready to start. It plans against the team's real velocity, tracks scope change and why it happened, shows trends across sprints, and shares a report by link. It connects to Jira Cloud both ways or works from a CSV, and no AI reads the tickets. I ran it as a product, from requirements to tested releases.

An appointment platform for clinics, with a separate role-based portal for patients, clinicians and administrators. Patients book and manage visits, clinicians see their schedule, and administrators run the practice. An AI chatbot answers patient questions and takes bookings, and n8n automations send reminders ahead of each appointment.

A weather app built around an interactive 24-hour chart you can scrub with a pointer or the arrow keys, plus air quality with a pollutant breakdown, a wind compass, a daylight bar and a 5-day forecast that opens up hour by hour. City search autocompletes, favourite cities stay pinned, and the backdrop changes with the sky. The API key stays on the server behind a small serverless function, so it never reaches the browser.

A Wordle-style word game with word categories, three difficulty levels and hints for when a round stalls. The real exercise is underneath: it runs on hand-written ArrayList and LinkedList implementations instead of Java's built-in collections.

A travel booking web app. Users browse trips, book through a multi-step form that keeps their answers between steps, and can come back later to review or change a booking. It includes user accounts and a responsive layout.

A calm nightly reading page that rebuilds itself every evening from free news and journal feeds: space, medicine, open-access research, physics, technology, nature and tennis. It favours proper reporting over press releases, drops anything behind a paywall before it reaches the page, and never repeats a story from an earlier night. Stories come with reading times, journals with their abstract's conclusion, and anything can be saved for later. It runs on a schedule and costs nothing to host.
