Full-Stack Developer & IT Engineer — Cybersecurity Focus
Full-stack developer and IT engineer specialising in cybersecurity. I build and ship production web platforms — storefronts, booking systems, corporate and security products — for clients in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Kuwait, with application security applied from the first commit rather than bolted on. Bilingual Arabic/English engineering, including Arabic-first RTL interfaces that most teams cannot deliver.
Experience
Current — concurrent contract engagements
Web development engagement with the Dubai-based team.
Rebuilt the agency site with a production content backend and AI-assisted workflows, plus advanced technical SEO — +40% organic search traffic in the first month. Ongoing IT support and digital asset management.
Delivered the company's bilingual web presence for premium construction projects, and ran targeted Meta campaigns for residential developments — +15% conversion rate on turnkey solutions.
Built and optimized the platform's website — server response time down 30%. Hardened response headers and minimised the attack surface for a firm selling security to enterprise clients. Managing digital assets and partnerships for integrated security services.
Earlier experience
Engineered end-to-end security architecture for a high-volume B2B flight booking system — 100% of identified infrastructure vulnerabilities mitigated. Encryption for sensitive financial data and continuous threat analysis.
Led intensive web development bootcamps — 90% student certification rate in programming fundamentals. Mentored students through real projects, JavaScript, Python, C++ and core CS concepts.
Optimized client codebases for user experience — +25% mobile loading speed and improved retention. Built data-driven campaigns on top of web analytics.
Maintained a high-traffic education platform at 99.9% uptime through continuous content updates. Grew the social presence through content planning and audience analysis.
Selected Work
A Saudi information security firm selling to enterprise and government. The website had to survive a procurement officer scanning it for credibility in under thirty seconds.
Cybersecurity · IT Governance · Arabic UX · Saudi Arabia
An interior design company in Borg El Arab sells two very different things: bespoke design services, and a deep catalog of materials and furniture. One website had to serve both without confusing either.
React · Express · Prisma · AI Assistant · 2FA · Arabic UX
A luxury florist with three branches was running every order through phone calls and DMs. They did not need a webshop. They needed their real sales process, online.
React · TypeScript · Express · Prisma · RTL Arabic · Monorepo
The first SkyLens site looked good and did nothing. Every new shoot meant a phone call to me. Version two had to hand the studio its own website back.
