DHAHAB · Work With Me

Two ways to work with me.

I'm a computer science student at San José State University shipping AI tooling, trading research, and CS-education work in public. Recruiters get an internship-ready engineer with sourced numbers. Founders get a solo builder who ships fast and says what didn't work.

02 · For Founders & Businesses

A freelance builder, not an agency

Solo end to end: I scope it, build it, and ship it myself, on local models where I can — no per-token bill, no handoff to someone you've never met.

Outside those four: email a brief. If it's a good fit for a solo builder — a script, an internal tool, an automation, a small full-stack build — I'll say so honestly, and say so just as honestly if it isn't.


03 · How I actually work

Tested, not just shipped

HwyHaul LoadLinkAI intake and AR automation built during a freight-brokerage internship — 18 finance workflows, 77 passing tests, entirely on local models.
Broker-agnostic trading botDeterministic order IDs, a claimed-before-every-call journal, idempotent reconciliation — 48 tests, no live capital until the promotion gate clears.
DIRA security scannerZero-dependency Python, MIT-licensed, six scanners plus SBOM and safe auto-remediation — 37 passing tests, open source on GitHub.
SIGCSE CS-education researchTwo peer-reviewed papers, IRB-approved mixed methods, 60 participants — under Dr. Ethel Tshukudu's CSEd Research Lab at SJSU.

See it all — including the trading strategies that failed walk-forward validation and the ones that stayed off this site because they didn't hold up — in the writing or the full apps & projects index.
