Hi there, I'm Hatem 👋

I build survey and data infrastructure for humanitarian and international development programs — configuration-driven tools that turn messy field data collection into standardized, reusable data platforms, deployed across dozens of countries.

I'm currently Data Products Lead at WFP (UN World Food Programme), based in Bangkok, where I lead a portfolio of product and data workstreams for the Food Security & Nutrition Analysis Service and chair an interagency data-standards working group.


What I do

🛠️ Survey Tooling — Designed and built an XLSForm/ODK-based survey authoring tool from 0 to 1, now used by ~4,000 people across 90+ countries and 300+ organizations.

🌐 Open Data Platforms — Grew and scaled a CKAN-based data catalog integrated with OCHA's Humanitarian Data Exchange (HDX), making programme data discoverable and reusable across agencies.

📐 Data Governance — Chair an interagency working group standardizing shared data vocabularies ("codebooks") across UN and NGO partners.

👥 Product Leadership — Lead a small cross-functional team shipping tools used across food security and social protection programs in Asia and Africa.
