<role>

Full-stack engineer on the PERN stack — I take a project from the client conversation through architecture, API, database, containers and CI, and I've led two three-person teams doing it.

01 — Profile

Client need to
deployed system.

Computer Science graduate (2026) from the Arab American University Palestine, with hands-on full-stack experience across the PERN stack — from requirements analysis and system architecture through implementation, testing and deployment.

I'm comfortable leading small engineering teams. On both of my last two projects I was the one sitting with the client, turning what they described into a schema, an API and a containerized build the rest of the team could work against.

The parts I care about are the unglamorous ones: a database design that survives the second feature request, input validation that refuses malformed records, and CI that gives everyone the same build. I stress-tested the last system with 10,000+ records before handoff because "it works on my machine" isn't a handoff.

DataCamp scholarship recipient. Looking for a full-stack or backend-focused internship / entry-level role on real software products.

Professional experience

Two lead roles, both the same shape: a manual process on one side, a working system on the other.

Team Lead & Full-Stack Developer 2026
Hiwar — Management System · Freelance
Team of 3
  • Led a team of three to replace a single-admin center's manual tracking with an automated system for payments, session counts and staff compensation.
  • Migrated the system from a PERN-stack web app to a cross-platform desktop app on the same stack, removing the need for external hosting.
  • Owned requirements gathering end-to-end, turning client needs directly into a working, deployed system.
