* ilham (il-'ham) from arabic means inspiration, divine guidance.
with 10+ years of experience, i've built swift used by millions from logistics to healthcare.
i write code like i write songs: with rhythm, structure, and soul.
i worked as the iOS lead on a healthcare app, using SwiftUI and MVVM to build clear, accessible interfaces. most of my time went into building reusable components, improving performance, and making sure the UI made sense for real people. it was a team effort, and i helped guide the direction from development to production.
i worked on the iOS team for a large-scale telco app used by millions of people daily. built with UIKit and VIPER architecture, i helped develop and maintain core features across several modules. it was a fast-paced environment where structure, speed, and teamwork were essential.
i was involved from day one on this courier app from initial development all the way to its public release. built with UIKit and MVVM, i worked on everything from core flows to UI components, making sure the app was stable, consistent, and ready to scale. it was a hands-on project that taught me a lot about building from the ground up.
originally by copeland, reimagined through my own lens. this cover started as a quiet experiment a way to revisit a song i've always loved and let it breathe in my own rhythm. produced alone in my room, shaped by the kind of silence that only early mornings give. this version is also a small tribute to a café i hold dear index coffee.
written during a quiet panic. released on my birthday. this song came from a place of doubt about time, progress, and the blurry lines between "figuring it out" and "falling behind." it's messy, honest, and probably the most me i've ever sounded.
my first release — co-written and soaked in emo lo-fi vibes. built on simple chords, subtle layers, and looping thoughts that echo late-night moods. unpolished on purpose, this track set the tone for everything that came after.
