The portfolio is the proof.

Every project here actually ships — to npm, the Chrome Web Store, or production. Not demos, not slideware.

I obsess over the things most people never notice: real focus states, RTL & Arabic typography, a working reduced-motion path, and a 17 KB budget I refuse to blow. This site re-themes live because that’s the kind of system I build.

How I can help

Freelance and hands-on — I take a project from a rough idea to something shipped, accessible and maintainable.

All services

Frontend Engineering

Interactive, polished interfaces with a real eye for detail — component architecture, design systems, motion and pixel-precise layout in React, Angular and Blazor.

E-commerce on Salla & Zid

Custom storefronts on the Salla and Zid platforms — tailored UI, theme work and the functionality your store actually needs. I’ve shipped 150+ of them.

Custom Web Development

Responsive, fast, accessible websites and web apps built with HTML, CSS, JavaScript and modern frameworks — from a rough idea to something shipped and maintainable.

Backend Development

Solid backends and APIs using C#, ASP.NET and Entity Framework with SQL databases — the server side that keeps the frontend honest.

UI/UX Optimization

Sharpening existing products — intuitive flows, smoother interactions and performance work that makes everything feel faster.

How the work happens

A short, honest path from problem to shipped — no ceremony, no surprises.

Understand

Tell me the problem, not the spec. I map the real constraints and the shortest honest path to a solution.

Build

Component-first, accessible by default, fast on purpose. You see working software early and often.

Ship

To npm, the Chrome Web Store, or production. Focus states, RTL, reduced-motion — the whole craft.

Measure

Budgets held, sessions up, the details that move numbers — verified, not assumed.
