Zainab Mohammed — Software Developer, Project Manager, DevOps Engineer

I design, ship and run resilient software — from the first line of code to the production pipeline that keeps it humming.

# about

Hi — I'm Zainab. I work across the full lifecycle of software: writing the code, coordinating the people, and operating the infrastructure it runs on. That mix lets me build things that don't just work in a demo, but in production — on schedule, on budget, and with the team behind them feeling good about it.

Most recently I was solution architect and lead engineer on Nexus, a suite of five integrated systems: HMS, LIS, RIS, Accounting and HR. It is now going live at a private hospital in the Kurdistan Region.

Curious about complex systems, allergic to unnecessary complexity. I believe great delivery is part craft, part communication.

# projects

Five systems I architected and built as one integrated suite, Nexus, for a private hospital in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. They share one patient record, one security model and one double-entry ledger, in English and Arabic (RTL). Each also stands on its own.

HMS: Hospital Management System

Clinical core

The clinical and operational core, from the front desk to discharge: admissions, clinics, ED, wards, ICU, maternity, theatre, pharmacy and blood bank, with safety gates built into the workflow. It also joins the other four systems into one HMIS.

LIS: Laboratory Information System

Laboratory

A complete lab system that runs as its own business unit: order and pay in one transaction, specimens and barcodes, a 12-stage audited order status, age- and sex-specific flagging and QC gates. Includes an HL7 v2 analyser gateway and a result simulator.

RIS: Radiology Information System

Imaging

The full imaging workflow: technologist worklist, DICOM modality worklist, Orthanc PACS with an embedded OHIF viewer, and structured reporting with two-step approval. Includes a stdlib-only Go DICOM modality simulator.

Accounting & Finance

Finance

Hospital ERP finance: a double-entry general ledger that every money flow posts to automatically, separate books per business unit, a pricing engine that never charges a silent zero, and cashiering, insurance, procurement and fixed assets.

HR & Payroll

People

People, time, compliance, rostering and payroll. The roster detects clashes, including night shifts that cross midnight. The payroll engine builds each month from attendance with a dry-run preview and posts accrual and payment to the ledger.
