Clinical practice, and the tools that support it

I work as a medical doctor with the Kurdistan Ministry of Health, and have practised across almost all governmental hospitals in Erbil since 2023. My training is in acute care: advanced life support, trauma life support, and the emergency medicine competencies that go with them.

Alongside that I build software for the people doing the same work. ECG Detector turns a photograph of a twelve-lead ECG into a structured reading — critical findings first, then measurements and ranked differentials — for the setting where the first ninety seconds decide the pathway.

I speak Kurdish, English and Arabic, and I am interested in work that puts clinical practice and healthcare technology in the same room.

What I bring

Patient care: Delivering care through engagement with patients, caregivers and hospital teams
Management: Coordination across hospital teams, caregivers, staff and management
Creativity: Building clinical tools, including ECG Detector for twelve-lead interpretation
Digital healthcare: Digital solutions and healthcare promotion strategies
Negotiation: Interpersonal skills developed through clinical and professional relationships
Critical thinking: Analytical approach to patient care, research and healthcare technology
Leadership: Project Leader with IFMSA, organising committee at the Kurdistan Health Summit
