Full-stack developer
in Kuwait who ships.
Full-stack software developer based in Kuwait, specializing in the MERN stack, Django, React Native and AWS cloud. I design and ship scalable REST APIs, AI-powered platforms with RAG, and cross-platform mobile apps.
A full-stack developer who ships end-to-end.
I build scalable web applications, RESTful APIs, and responsive interfaces with React, Django and C#/.NET. But my range goes further — I've configured Fortigate firewalls, deployed Sophos EDR, wired up Cisco switches, and administered Microsoft 365 tenants. That mix means I think about the whole system: secure, performant, and shippable.
