About Me. The Silent Narrator: Engineer by Trade, Storyteller by Nature.
Hey, I'm Eman, a software developer from South Sudan who is driven by a passion to change the world and become a polymath. I like to design technical systems around how humans actually think and work. I've built production software across healthcare, AI, and logistics while developing systematic approaches to user-centered architecture. Currently combining engineering work with neuroscience studies at Arizona State University.

My Engineering Philosophy
My path as a software engineer is rooted in a deep conviction that technology's true power lies in its ability to solve real problems and enhance lives. I champion a user-centric approach, beginning with understanding the 'What,' 'How,' and 'Why' of a problem, knowing that a well-defined challenge is already 50% of the solution.
Beyond the Code: The Silent Narrator
When I step away from the keyboard, I transform into “The Silent Narrator”, crafting stories where actions speak louder than words. My unique writing style eschews dialogue completely, focusing instead on how characters reveal themselves through their deeds.
My curiosity extends beyond technical learning; it's a fascination with the underlying ‘rhythms’ of systems and human behavior, constantly seeking patterns and lessons from both our past and present.
Vision for Impact
My particular focus lies in leveraging technology to navigate the unique challenges prevalent in Africa and create sustainable opportunities for the next generation of innovators.
My work is informed by a desire to build solutions that not only exist but also thrive in complex environments, making a tangible difference in communities and contributing to a future shaped by thoughtful, impactful engineering.

The Genesis: Fueling a Relentless Drive
My journey into technology began unexpectedly with a scholarship to study Computer Science in Zimbabwe. My first programming test score was a humbling 2/50, but this initial setback ignited a relentless determination. Through self-learning and countless nights watching TheNewBoston tutorials by Bucky Roberts, I not only caught up but eventually became a go-to resource for my classmates. This early experience forged a deep understanding of resilience – the 'move' instinct that transforms challenges into growth.
Community & Catalysis: Shifting Perspectives
A pivotal turning point arrived in 2017 with the launch of Facebook Developer Circles in Harare. This immersive exposure to a vibrant tech community illuminated the vast, collaborative possibilities in software development. It was here I truly grasped the power of shared knowledge and collective problem-solving, catalyzing my transition from isolated learning to impactful, community-driven growth.
Architecting Impact: A User-Centric Approach
My professional trajectory has been dedicated to transforming complex requirements into robust, maintainable systems. From architecting AI-powered procurement platforms at Sahil to pioneering browser infrastructure for AI agents, I've honed a rigorous, user-centric philosophy. My work emphasizes meticulously dissecting the 'What, How, and Why' of a problem, a process that enables me to build solutions that don't just function, but truly empower users and drive tangible impact across diverse sectors. Notably, as a co-founder of the Saudi Production Platform, I'm involved in creating a centralized professional platform for the Saudi production industry, encompassing dual user registration, advanced talent search, portfolio management with project verification, and secure payment processing.
Current Ventures & Interdisciplinary Explorations
Currently, I'm co-founding the Saudi Production Platform, a new venture focused on transforming the production industry in the Middle East. I also continue to build Sahil, and run Volterra. Beyond my engineering work, I've adopted the alias “The Silent Narrator” for my unique approach to storytelling—crafting narratives with zero dialogue where characters communicate entirely through their actions. This writing philosophy stems from my belief that actions speak louder than words, a concept I've developed into a distinctive literary style that challenges conventional storytelling. My professional work is deeply intertwined with my personal interests; I'm actively exploring how human cognitive evolution informs better system design—an insight that drives my contributions to the open-source community and shapes my upcoming book, ‘ The Erectus Protocol'. This blend of engineering, storytelling, and neuroanthropology ensures I create solutions and narratives that are not just technically sound, but deeply human-centered and impactful.
