I’m Nour Ashoush, a developer focused on building useful, human-centred software.

I’m in the early stage of my engineering career, working with teams in Tokyo to build software that feels simple and trustworthy. I love exploring where AI meets good design, and how small details can make digital experiences feel calm and intuitive.
