// Founder & CEO — Saba
AbdullahAmedi
I taught myself to build — under hard conditions, one line of code at a time. Then I built a company.
// 01 — The Beginning
A low-paid job. A laptop.
And HTML at night.
In my first year of computer science, I was working a job that barely paid for food — sometimes not even that. In whatever hours were left, I taught myself the web: HTML, then CSS, then JavaScript. No shortcuts, no safety net. Just the will to build something of my own.
My first portfolio was the first proof that I could. It wasn't much — but it was mine, made by hand, under conditions that gave me every reason to quit. I didn't.
// 02 — The Failures
Every door closed.
Some of them twice.
I searched for any work that would let me build. I tried, and I tried, and it kept failing. Some attempts gave me hope — I let myself be happy, then found out they were dead ends, and the fall hurt more each time. Others were lost from the start.
I left my old job with nothing lined up and spent months without work, still trying. In that silence I built a full orthodontics management system for my sister — and taught myself more from that one project than any job had. I showed it at the University of Duhok project exhibition. It was the first time my work stood in front of the world.
// 03 — The Call
An unknown number. A voice I didn't recognize.
“Are you Abdullah?
I want a website…”
My first real client. I built them a professional company website — and something shifted. Months later a friend called with an app idea, so I taught myself mobile development and we shipped it. On the strength of that work, a software company hired me — the highest pay, the fewest hours, my own schedule. I had proven I was worth it.
// 04 — The Leap
Failed once. Failed twice.
The third time, I let go.
Inside the company, I made a quiet deal with myself: advertise my own work, and if the projects came, leave. I ran the ad and it failed. Ran it again — failed. The third time, it worked. More than one client came, and that was my sign.
I trusted God, and I took the brave decision to leave everything behind. For about a month I freelanced — and the work arrived faster than one person could ever build. I brought in a friend, then another. The realization was impossible to ignore: I needed a place of my own.
// 05 — Saba
I trusted God,
and I built a place
of my own.
Opening a company meant fear — cost, confusion, expenses I never planned for. The same faith that let me leave a safe job let me sign the lease anyway. I rented a place, opened the doors, and named it Saba — after an ancient kingdom of builders.
The beginning was silent. No new clients for a stretch that tested everything. But with patience, everything came — and today Saba grows, getting better with time. What started as one person teaching himself HTML is now a team, a company, a vision.
