What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead .NET full-stack delivery, optimize database performance, and build reliable APIs and Windows services in an agile team—where clean code, testing, and maintainability directly improve scalability.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with over 20 years of expertise spanning advanced web, desktop, and system-level development. I own the full software lifecycle—from design and installation to testing and maintenance—building robust solutions with ASP.NET MVC, C#, VB.NET, and Microsoft SQL Server.

In my current role at Virtual World KSA, I collaborate with stakeholders to design intuitive, cross-platform user interfaces. I design and optimize complex database objects (tables, views, stored procedures, functions), and I deliver critical technical support by upgrading interfaces, correcting errors, and adapting systems to new hardware. I also track progress in Azure DevOps and maintain source control with Git.

Across projects, I build API microservices and Windows-based automation that securely delivers and manages system data. For a US-based agency portal (CrossIT), I engineered microservices to format and deliver server data for an ASP.NET MVC architecture, and I built specialized Windows Applications and Task Scheduler Services for automated SQL backups, zip archiving, and folder monitoring. I’ve also delivered integrations like connecting Attijariwafa Bank points with Etisalat backends to enable points-to-cashback workflows.

Earlier work includes building custom CMS platforms and automated business processes through Windows Services, plus full-stack development for Android experiences like the الكتاب المقدس بالخلفيات التوضيحية application and the كلامك نورى Android application using game engine technologies and custom graphics. I’ve also led teams and supported IT strategy as a Team Leader and Head of IT, with a strong focus on clean code, reliable deployments, and thorough functional, integration, and regression testing.
