Hi, I'm Fadel.
I build products end‑to‑end.
From Go backends and blockchain proof-of-concepts to product strategy — I work at the intersection of engineering and business to ship things that matter.
About
From code to product
I'm a product engineer with a foundation in software development that runs from low-level C and C++ through full-stack web applications. Early in my career I built chatbot features at Rocket Mortgage, then moved to Ford Credit, where I designed blockchain proof-of-concepts using zero-knowledge proofs.
That work taught me how to take emerging technology and make a business case for it, and it shaped my transition into product engineering. Today I sit between the technical and business sides of the organization, translating requirements in both directions and working with vendors on regulatory efforts like the European Battery Passport initiative.
Lately, much of my focus has been on agentic system design: architecting AI agents and building agentic workflows that carry complex, multi-step processes through to completion with minimal human intervention.

Tools & Platforms
Projects
Featured work
Open-source tools and templates I've built and maintain.
Ops Sentinel
Anomaly detection and an AI analyst for a fleet of 100 jet engines — on GCP, entirely as code. Two independent ML detectors score sensor telemetry in BigQuery, and a Gemini-powered agent investigates the results on demand, answering questions in plain English and writing condition reports with charts — grounded in real queries, never invented numbers. Every piece of infrastructure is Terraform; every deploy runs through GitHub Actions with no stored credentials.
Authentication API
A Golang authentication service supporting both HTTP/2 and gRPC protocols — user registration, login, and email verification out of the box.
Mail Module
A Go module for sending emails seamlessly via AWS or SendGrid — built to drop into complex backend systems, with SMS support on the roadmap.
