About

A bit about me

I'm a Senior Front-End Developer with 4+ years of experience building production web applications with React, Next.js and TypeScript. In 2025 I founded Basmaa Tech, where I lead a team delivering SaaS products, B2B platforms and public-sector websites.

I care about clean architecture, performance and accessible, bilingual (Arabic/English) interfaces — and I've worked remotely with teams in the UK, Iraq and Türkiye.
