Hadi Darwish

Software Engineer at Aboard Lebanon

Hadi Darwish builds web and mobile products end to end.

Full-stack engineer in Beirut working across web, mobile, AI agents and automation. Laravel and Node.js on the back end, Next.js, React and Flutter on the front, and the n8n workflows and infrastructure that keep it all running.

Roles and training since 2022. Parallel lanes are roles that overlapped.

The tools change every year, but the skill that compounds is understanding the problem before writing the code.
