Engineering, products, and the systems behind them.
Almuthanna Shihab is a software engineer and the founder of Nexren. His background spans full-stack engineering, system architecture, technical operations, automation, product development, and business technology.
Software engineer and founder.
My work has moved from technical support and systems troubleshooting into automation, full-stack product development, architecture, and technical leadership. That progression matters: reliable software depends on understanding the operational reality around it, not only the interface or framework.
From operations to architecture.
I have worked with frontend systems, backends and APIs, authentication, databases, Python and SQL automation, mobile products, IT operations, and product strategy. My professional experience includes STACK, Northern Illinois University, Alpha Baking, and other roles documented on the experience page.
FilesMagic
I built FilesMagic, a file-conversion product with web and iPhone experiences. The public App Store listing identifies Almuthanna Shihab as its developer.
Nexren
I founded Nexren in 2024. My role combines engineering with project definition, client communication, technical decisions, and delivery.
Featured in UAE Business Times.
In February 2026, UAE Business Times Magazine published an independent feature covering my technology leadership, work with STACK, and Nexren. The feature reflects the professional context at the time of publication; my current STACK relationship is Advisor.
