Full-stack engineer based in Beirut, two years building real web products in React, Laravel, and Node. This is my workshop — the projects I've shipped, the snippets I lean on, and the notes I keep coming back to.
I'm a full-stack engineer in Beirut. I came up through a Computer Science degree at the Lebanese International University and the SE Factory full-stack bootcamp — then went straight into shipping. The last two years have been a fintech dashboard at KUDWA, freelance work on Upwork, and a steady stream of side projects I actually finish.
Day to day I write React on the front, Laravel or Node on the back, and whichever database the problem calls for — MySQL, Postgres, MongoDB. I care about clean code, real tests, and CI/CD that gets out of the way.
When I'm not building, I distill what I've learned into reusable snippets. That's what the notes section of this site is — the same library I reach for every week.
A handful of things I’ve built recently.
Internal HR platform with React on the front, Laravel 12 on the back, MySQL for data. Google OAuth2 sign-in, Slack notifications wired into the leave-request flow.
AI-powered comic generator: type a story idea, get a paneled comic. React + Express + Sequelize, with OpenAI for the script and Replicate for the imagery. Dockerized, deployed on AWS (S3 + EC2) with GitHub Actions CI/CD.
Full MERN-stack wallet app with secure auth and session management. Balance tracking, peer-to-peer transfers, and a transaction history backed by validated REST APIs.
The tech I use most often, day to day.
Open to interesting full-stack work and collaborations. The fastest way to reach me is email.
