About

◆

I am a Software Engineer based in Dubai with over 5 years of experience in full-stack web development and cloud technologies. I specialize in building scalable, high-performance applications using modern frameworks such as Next.js, React, Django, and Node.js.

Currently working as a Software Engineer at Elegant Hoopoe while pursuing an MBA in Data Analytics & AI, I bring a unique blend of technical expertise and business acumen. I hold dual AWS certifications (Solutions Architect Associate and Cloud Practitioner), reflecting my commitment to cloud-native development and DevOps best practices.

I am passionate about clean code, thoughtful architecture, and delivering solutions that create real impact — from reducing API response times by 75% to processing 10K+ messages monthly through multi-channel integrations.
