About

I build scalable, maintainable web applications

I'm a full-stack developer with 5+ years of experience, currently working as an Application Developer at IBM Egypt. I build responsive, maintainable interfaces in React, Angular and TypeScript, connect them to backend services and RESTful APIs, and take features from proof of concept through to production.

Before IBM, I spent more than three years at Knowledge Net building enterprise applications and back-office tools, including migrating legacy AngularJS applications to Angular 10. On the server side I work with Node.js, Java and Python.

I also taught frontend development for three years as an external instructor at the Information Technology Institute (ITI), mentoring students through hands-on projects.

I use AI-assisted development tools such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor and Claude Code, alongside the fundamentals that keep software reliable: testing, code review and clean, modular design.
