Founder, abd3lraouf studios · native apps that stay yours
Senior Android Engineer · 7+ years · Google Certified · Kotlin & Swift
I run abd3lraouf studios — an independent studio behind seven native apps and developer tools, built and shipped end to end. Every one runs on your own hardware and stays yours once you have it: no accounts to keep, nothing to cancel later.
By day, a Senior Android Engineer with 7+ years shipping production mobile apps — Google Certified — Associate Android Developer, deep in Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Clean Architecture and Kotlin Multiplatform. Founder of Timewarden. Beyond Android I ship macOS apps in Swift, developer tooling (IDE plugins, MCP servers, CLIs) and open-source libraries.
I build products, not just features.
Software native to the platform it runs on: quick to get working, dependable for as long as you keep it.
