Message

At Codementor, I build backend APIs and full-stack web applications for international clients using Node.js, Express.js, React/Next.js, and SQL or NoSQL databases. I use implementation-ready specs and Claude Code in my workflow, then review, test, and refine the generated code.

At Markabte, I led an Agile/Scrum backend team and built three integrated PWA web apps. I cut car-form submission time from 2–3 seconds to under one second through API optimization, caching, and prefetching.

I also served as CTO at ORTEC Group, directing business-application development that included Odoo ERP and multi-tenant platforms. I’ve taught and mentored developers, and built Alburaq Athletics’ Shopify store, including a custom PayPal checkout integration.
