I am an engineer and a hacker. I started coding when I was 9.
I lived four years through the Syrian civil war before escaping to Lebanon as a 15-year-old.
I wanted answers to the absolutely horrific geopolitical mess I was exposed to early in life. I wanted to equip myself with the only weapon I was able to bear.
The knowledge of hacking.
In Lebanon, I became deeply engrained in cryptography, anonymity, hacking. I developed my own tools, methods, and a group of close friends.
That’s when I discovered Bitcoin and Monero, along with other hacker forums.
It was the only community that didn’t judge me. Because the only way you could judge an anonymous user was through their absolute competence.
I used these skills to successfully win bug bounties from AWS and DigitalOcean until I was fortunate enough to come to Canada.
A new start as a teenager.
I used the same skills to build and sell my first company, and eventually start others.
Today, I use the same hacker mentality to improve the quality of life for engineers and developers who work with coding agents every day.
Today’s tools still treat each agent as a terminal or chat thread. Sessions are fragile, the context scattered, and I always find myself losing my train of thought.
The process of software engineering is broken, and I am going to fix it.
I discovered Primal through
@jack and thought it might be the right medium to tell others about what I'm building, since Jack is also a hacker.
The reason I am here is to connect with other builders and help put an end to the mess we live in. I want to see and understand what you are doing about it too.
The tool I created is called AgentGrid. It is a collaborative, shareable, infinite canvas for agents, notes, browsers, and more (attached photo)
It helps calm my ADHD brain. It might help you organize yours, too.
