About
A bit about me
I’m a WordPress and Shopify developer based in Mansoura, Egypt, and a final-year Information Systems student at Mansoura University (graduating July 2027).
I started taking client work in August 2024 and have since delivered more than 20 websites, from Elementor builds to fully custom WordPress themes that I design, develop and hand over myself. Running a store on my own for six months taught me to organise and prioritise work.
I’m now looking for a stable role in a development team, where code review and bigger projects help me grow.
Outside work I’m learning French, I play football, and I like time away from screens.
How I work
- I start by understanding the business goal and confirming the requirements in writing.
- I design the interface first and build only after it is approved.
- I build for editing: custom blocks and fields, so clients update their own content.
- I test on a local copy, keep the code in Git and check PageSpeed Insights on mobile and desktop before launch.
- I use AI coding assistants throughout my work, and I review and test everything that ships.
