About the Author
Where logic meets language, and lasers meet legacy.I’m Niel Hillawi—a business analyst by profession, a wordsmith by compulsion, and a craftsman by passion.
My work lives at the crossroads of clarity and creativity, where enterprise logic meets poetic rebellion, and where the hum of a laser cutter harmonises with the rhythm of a well-turned phrase.
The Analyst
With decades of experience navigating the labyrinth of enterprise IT in the Maritime Cruise sector, I specialise in translating complexity into clarity. I can advise and guide in the art of business analysis, systems thinking, and stakeholder engagement, always with a sharp eye for the human experience behind the process.
The Wordsmith
Words are my second language. I write satirical poetry, reflective essays, and short stories that explore the absurdities of modern systems, the quiet dignity of the end user, and the strange beauty of being human in a digital age. My pieces are crafted to provoke thought, raise a smile, and occasionally, draw blood, politely.
The Craftsman
In my workshop, I wield an Xtool laser cutter to create bespoke artwork, keepsakes, and visual storytelling pieces. Each creation is a fusion of precision and emotion—etched in wood, acrylic, or metal, but always rooted in meaning.
