The
gist.

I'm a frontend-focused software engineer building fast, scalable, production web apps with React, Next.js and TypeScript — and I'm comfortable across the full stack with Supabase, .NET and Java Spring Boot. I design and ship products end to end: clean, accessible UI on the front, and the APIs, auth and data models that make them real on the back. I care about performance, maintainable component systems, and interfaces that feel effortless.

Things I've built

Soap and Sparkle landing page

Soap and Sparkle

An online store for a small-batch brand of handmade cold-pressed soap, musk oil, and home and car diffusers. There is no checkout or payment gateway: shoppers pick their products, fill in a validated order form, and the site opens WhatsApp with the full order and total already written out, ready to send. Bilingual English/Arabic with dual-currency USD/LBP pricing, and all products, prices, and copy kept in a few content files the owner can edit directly.

Souqna

A WhatsApp-native storefront and order-management platform for small sellers across Lebanon and the wider MENA market. Built around a three-actor model — the developer builds the shop, the seller manages it from a dashboard, and the buyer orders without ever creating an account — with dual-currency USD/LBP pricing throughout to match how business is actually done locally.
