Summary
Lead Software Engineer with 15+ years of experience architecting and delivering high-performance, resilient web applications across enterprise and consumer-scale environments. Core specialisation sits at the intersection of PWA engineering for connectivity-challenged environments, real-time event-driven systems built on WebSockets and SSE, geospatial and map-driven interfaces, and optimistic UI patterns. In recent years, focus has expanded to AI-powered interfaces — streaming LLM experiences, speech-to-text/text-to-speech pipelines, and the API contracts connecting model inference to interactive UI.
Experience
Contributing to a proprietary, enterprise-grade, mission-critical application under NDA — details intentionally limited.
- Building Optimistic UI patterns with robust conflict resolution, ensuring operators always see a responsive interface while maintaining eventual consistency with backend state
- Architecting responsive, real-time frontend experiences powered by the ArcGIS Maps SDK, enabling live geospatial data visualisation with continuous, WebSocket-driven updates — no page reload required
- Building end-to-end AI interfaces — streaming LLM responses, speech-to-text input, and text-to-speech output — delivering a voice-capable AI assistant within a complex, high-stakes data application
- Designing the client-side layer of an event-driven architecture using WebSockets and SSE, ensuring low-latency state synchronisation between real-time data feeds and the UI
- Owning frontend security posture — enforcing XSS prevention, secure token handling, and Content Security Policy standards throughout the application
Full-stack engineer building an AI-powered platform for legal advisory services — a domain where accuracy, traceability, and data sensitivity carry direct professional and legal consequences.
- Built end-to-end AI interfaces spanning streaming LLM responses, speech-to-text input, automated document drafting, and PII redaction
- Combined generative AI capability with the compliance-grade safeguards that legal-tech applications demand
Led a chapter of frontend engineers across multiple product squads; set technical vision, coding standards, WCAG 2.1 accessibility guidelines, and career growth frameworks.
- Architected a multi-brand design system and component library adopted across every product surface — reducing UI delivery time by ~40%
- Implemented PWA capabilities (service worker caching, offline fallback pages, installability) improving resilience for MENA users in low-connectivity environments
- Introduced Optimistic UI patterns for core checkout flows, reducing perceived latency and strengthening conversion confidence
- Leveraged Next.js for SSR/SSG across marketing and product pages, driving Lighthouse scores above 90 through code-splitting, lazy loading, and Core Web Vitals auditing
- Established a CI/CD-driven testing culture with automated Jest, React Testing Library, and Cypress suites
- Implemented a Micro Frontend Architecture, establishing clear domain ownership across Checkout, My Account, and Catalog
Designed and delivered a responsive, accessible, high-performance frontend for a fast-growing e-commerce platform serving millions of users across MENA.
- Introduced GraphQL at the frontend layer, co-designing schemas with backend teams — eliminating over-fetching and improving page load times by 30%
- Engineered a custom visual workflow builder — a headless CMS with drag-and-drop page composition — for non-technical stakeholders
- Implemented Optimistic UI updates for cart and wishlist interactions while maintaining strict backend data consistency
- Built automated visual regression and unit tests with Jest and React Testing Library; introduced Core Web Vitals monitoring in production
Directed a team of frontend engineers across concurrent projects for one of the region's leading sports retailers, defining architecture, coding standards, and Magento 2 frontend theming strategy.
- Spearheaded a full e-commerce frontend re-platform, improving conversion rate and reducing bounce rate through performance-driven, UX-focused engineering
- Built CI/CD pipelines and Webpack-based build automation, cutting deployment times by 50%
- Enforced accessibility, frontend security, and cross-browser compatibility standards across all delivered interfaces
Owned full-cycle development across PHP, Node.js, and modern JavaScript for enterprise-scale client web applications.
- Led RESTful API design, system architecture decisions, and database modelling across multiple concurrent client projects
- Mentored junior developers and enforced high coding standards through structured code reviews
