I like software that respects the machine it runs on.

I am Turki Alrumaihi, a software engineer in Bahrain. I graduated in software engineering from the University of Salford in 2026, and I spent most of that degree building and shipping things on the side.

Most of what I build is local first. Your files and your notes should not have to travel to someone's server just to be useful. That constraint makes me a better engineer, because when there is no cloud to lean on, the code has to be fast and the installer has to just work.

I am into machine learning too. I trained a model that reads a handwritten digit and tells you which number it is, and got it to around 98% accuracy, which was a good weekend. I like taking apart new models and tools to see what they can really do, then finding the one honest use for them in something people would actually run.

What I care about most is whether people use what I build. Beyon Money's fraud team still files cases through a tool I wrote as an intern, every single day. Once you have felt that, a demo that only impresses for five minutes stops being interesting.
