ABOUT

Building experiences that work beautifully at scale.

I'm a Senior React Developer with 6+ years of experience building modern web and mobile applications using React.js, Next.js, React Native, and TypeScript. I enjoy turning complex business requirements into intuitive, high-performance user experiences.

Throughout my career, I've worked across startups, SaaS products, fintech platforms, enterprise applications, and real-time mobility systems. My experience spans frontend architecture, reusable component systems, API integrations, authentication, state management, and cross-platform development.

Most recently at Dubai Technologies, I've been developing enterprise geospatial applications using React micro-frontends, Leaflet, Mapbox, and ArcGIS. My work focuses on scalable frontend architecture, performance optimization, and rendering large geolocation datasets efficiently.

Beyond commercial projects, I enjoy building products from the ground up. My personal projects include an AI-powered Resume Management System that helps candidates tailor resumes using AI, and TurnTaxi, a real-time ride-hailing platform featuring live tracking, trip management, and optimized Firebase synchronization.

I care about writing clean, maintainable code, creating reusable systems, and building products that people genuinely enjoy using. Whether it's architecting frontend applications, improving performance, or collaborating with cross-functional teams, my goal is always the same—deliver reliable software that scales.

RECOMMENDATIONS

What teams get.

Architecture that scales

Micro-frontends, monorepos, reusable components, and type-safe patterns that support larger teams.

Delivery under real constraints

Product work across remote teams, client delivery, security needs, API contracts, performance targets, and test coverage.

Interfaces that stay usable

Accessibility, keyboard navigation, responsive behavior, and fast-loading screens designed for actual user workflows.

STACK

What I run in production.

OPERATING MODEL

Build the interface, the system around it, and the guardrails.

The stack is less about tool collection and more about shipping frontend systems that stay fast, testable, and adaptable as the product grows.
