Abdullahusien Khalid Shalal

Founder & Lead Software Developer

Summary

Self-taught software developer from Iraq with a strong passion for cybersecurity and system-level software engineering. While currently enrolled in an Anesthesia Technology diploma, my true focus has always been on computer science. I independently developed DARX Vault, a fully encrypted desktop application built from scratch in Python, and I’m currently working on DARX OS an ambitious operating system project focused on user privacy and offline autonomy.

My long-term goal, once in the United States, is to establish a dedicated software team and officially launch DARX OS as a next-generation, privacy-first computing platform with built-in AI capabilities. With access to better resources and a collaborative environment, I aim to make DARX OS a disruptive force that empowers users to take control of their digital freedom and security.

DARX OS is not just a software project it’s a vision that I believe can genuinely impact the future of secure computing. I know it can change the way we think about privacy, autonomy, and AI on personal systems. But I can't build this alone. All I ask is one opportunity just a chance to be heard, to be seen, to work in the right environment. That’s all I’ve ever needed. With the right support, DARX OS won’t just launch it will shake the world.
