About Me

Salam! I’m Maryam Alhuthayfi. My journey into tech started before I even knew what “tech” really meant, back when the first Pixel and iPhone hit the market. I was a pre-teen, completely mesmerized by the idea of holding that kind of magic in my hands. It didn’t take long before I was trying to build some of that magic myself.

I officially started coding in 2016, and since then, I’ve had the privilege of working on a range of projects that mix hands-on engineering with a constant drive to learn, teach, and share. While I’m known for my expertise in Android and Kotlin, I’ve also explored cross-platform development, humanoid robotics, and full-stack web projects. I love experimenting with new technologies for the sheer curiosity of it.

But I’m not just about writing great code, I’m about building great teams, strong communities, and environments where people can learn and grow. I lead projects, mentor developers, and stay grounded in the joy of making something new and meaningful.
