Hello, I'm
Abdulkader Safi
Lead Software Engineer
//Web & Mobile Developer
I build web and mobile apps, AI products, and developer tools. I'm from Lebanon, based in Kuwait, and I care about clean code, fast performance, and solving hard problems.
ABOUT ME
I've Been Building Since I Was 13
I taught myself to code as a kid and never looked back. Today I lead engineering teams at DSRPT, a Google Premier Partner, building software that makes a real difference.
Now I focus on developer-first tools that make hard technology simple to use. Every project gets the same care, whether it's a VSCode extension, an AI tool, or a large web app.

LaralCN-UI: A shadcn-style copy-and-own Blade component system for Laravel
A shadcn-style copy-and-own Blade component system for Laravel. Instead of a runtime library, you pull pure Blade and Tailwind v4 components into your own source tree via an Artisan CLI or one-click copy from the docs site. Every component is fully owned and editable, with no version coupling.

ImageMagick for VS Code: Native image editing inside the editor
A VS Code extension that puts the full ImageMagick toolchain, resize, crop, rotate, compress, format convert, directly into the editor, with a live preview and a drag-and-drop UI. All processing runs locally with zero cloud uploads, so the extension is safe for proprietary assets.
