ABDULRAHMAN ALIAN / LONDON, UK

Hi, I’m Abdul.
I build tools
that give AI agency.

Software and data engineer working where agents meet real systems. From a Windows MCP server to production workflows, I care about what happens after the model responds.

A closer look at what I build,
and the decisions behind it.

01OPEN SOURCE / DEVELOPER TOOLS

WinReach

Give an agent its own
Windows machine.

A TypeScript MCP server that connects agents to a remote Windows host for shell execution, persistent sessions, file transfer and desktop interaction.

ENGINEERING DECISIONS
01

Keep state between tool calls

Persistent PowerShell sessions retain the working directory, variables and imported modules.

02

Make access explicit

Per-user keys, roles, command policies and optional mutual TLS. Desktop and file tools are opt-in.

03

Leave an audit trail

Tool calls are recorded for inspection. GUI capabilities have separate controls from shell policies.

03 / A LITTLE ABOUT ME

Serious about
the work.
Always curious.

I’m Abdul, a software and data engineer based in London. I work across Python, TypeScript and SQL, connecting models to tools, applications and production data.

I’m particularly interested in agent execution environments, developer experience, and making failures easier to understand. WinReach is where I explore those ideas in the open.

My background spans mobile applications, computer vision research and enterprise data systems. I’m now looking to go deeper into agent engineering and developer tooling.
