Full-Stack Developer · Riyadh · Open to work

I build production web applications end to end — React and Next.js on the front, Node and Postgres behind them. Two years shipping SaaS with real users and payments, and now my own studio, where the work adds real-time 3D and Arabic-first interfaces on the same stack.
