I build production web platforms, distributed backend systems, and cloud infrastructure.
LebanonWhat I'm looking for
I've built and operated production web platforms, backend services, and infrastructure-heavy systems for more than 15 years. At ZIMA Cloud, I co-founded and built an ISP management platform from MVP to production use across multiple countries.
More recently, I've migrated platforms to React, GraphQL, Azure, Docker, and Kubernetes, while designing APIs, data flows, and database structures. I work autonomously across complex codebases, conduct code reviews and technical interviews, and help teams deliver reliable systems.
