Backend, frontend, and Linux-adjacent tooling. Most of my commits are TypeScript and PHP these days; Rust when the problem needs it.

[ 02 · about ]

Full-stack dev who also likes the low-level stuff.

I'm Ahmed Yaseen Ibrahim — most just call me Yaseen. Based in the Maldives. Day job is at OXIQA. On the side I run Zenryk and work with Synetecs on their AI stuff. The work is usually APIs, databases, frontend, and the Linux boxes everything runs on.

When I'm not doing client work I send Rust patches to asus-linux (the project that makes ROG laptops actually usable on Linux) and help out at the Open Gaming Collective. Before I got into dev I was pulling fiber cable for Ooredoo, so the path here was field → provisioning → mobile apps → everything else.

Work & affiliations.

  1. Feb 2025 — Present now
    OXIQA
    — Full-stack Engineer

    Main job. I build web platforms and internal tools for clients — government ministries, product companies, a couple of mixed setups. Often as the lead dev on a project. Databases, APIs, frontend, and the Linux servers things run on. I also make the deploy and infra calls on the bigger engagements.

  2. 2025 — Present now
    Zenryk
    — Founder

    My own thing. Where I take work directly — anything from a one-off consulting gig to a full end-to-end build. Contact: [email protected].

  3. 2025 — Present now
    Synetecs
    — Collaborator · AI

    Long-running collab on the AI side. thaana.ai, legalnotes, the UNDP Dhivehi TTS dashboard — all built with the Synetecs team, usually brokered through OXIQA.

  4. 2025 — Present now
    iqdot

    Rust patches to asusctl — the daemon that makes ASUS ROG laptops behave on Linux. Added Scar 18 2025 support, reworked the AniMe Matrix image & GIF pipeline, fixed race conditions in PPT power tuning.

  6. 2026 now
    Open Gaming Collective
    — Contributor

    Helping out at OGC — open standards and tooling around Linux gaming. Mostly web stuff so far but there's some kernel-level work in progress too.

prior roles
  1. AvasRide Nov 2023 — Feb 2025
    — Full-stack Developer

    Built the Avas App (riders), the Driver App, the web APIs behind them, and the admin panel the ops team used every day. Also pitched in on hardware and OS work when the servers needed hands.

  2. Ooredoo Maldives Dec 2021 — Nov 2023
    — Officer Provisioning (prev. Fiber Technician)

    Started in the field pulling fiber and managing six infra partners across different regions. Got moved into the provisioning office — device configs for mobile and fiber from the backend, training staff, running UAT for new services. Employee of the month twice (June and September 2022).

[ 04 · client work ]

Real work for real clients.

Most of this is in private repos, so what's here is just the shape of the work and the stack — nothing internal. Government ministries, product companies, a few AI things.

> Ministry of Higher Education — Kuri Portal

2025 — Present

The web platform the Ministry of Higher Education uses. Students, admin staff, and the ministry itself all talk to the same backend. Split into a core services layer, a student API, an admin API, and two separate frontends. Go for the cloud infra, Ansible for deploys.

> Ministry of Dhivehi Language — Dhiraasa

2025

WordPress multisite for the Ministry of Dhivehi Language, Culture & Heritage. Shared infra across the ministry's subsites, a stack of plugins, plus a custom plugin I wrote (divi-network-fonts) to push fonts across the whole network. Most of the build was config and plugin wiring, not code — not my usual stack but it was the right answer for what they needed.

  • Content split across ministry subsites

> asusctl

Rust patches to the asus-linux project

The daemon that makes ASUS ROG laptops actually work on Linux. I added support for the Strix Scar 18 2025 line (G835LW, G635L), rewrote the AniMe Matrix image & GIF pipeline, enabled the GA402N board, added a pulse-mode aura effect, and fixed a couple of race conditions in the PPT power tuning. Seven MRs merged upstream so far.

WordPress plugin that pushes Divi fonts out to every site in a multisite network. The @font-face output matches Divi's internal naming so the theme actually picks them up. Written for Dhiraasa, the multisite I built for the Ministry of Dhivehi Language, Culture & Heritage.
