Senior full-stack engineer
building production systems that ship.

Based in Dubai. Six-plus years on the web — TypeScript across the stack, cloud on AWS, GCP, and Azure — plus four years building native apps for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, and shipping games in Unreal Engine and Unity.

I work solo — one operator across design, code, deploy, and maintenance — and I've handed off every project with spare time on the deadline. Enterprise work for BMW Middle East, Art Dubai, and the United Nations Ocean Conference.

One engineer. End-to-end. Ahead of schedule.

Best fit: production web apps, native desktop and mobile (Windows, macOS, iOS, Android), or games in Unreal / Unity — greenfield builds, performance work, or rescuing something that's drifted. Single point of contact, no agency markup, ships before the deadline. Based in Dubai, working globally.
