What I'm looking for

I'm open to relocating across the Gulf (UAE / KSA / Qatar) or working fully remote.

At MBC Shahid, I shipped product features and revamped SEO for an Arabic-language streaming platform. The work more than doubled indexed videos, and I proposed and shipped live-match structured data with the backend team.

I also co-built Shahid's React/Next.js video playback component library for web and Smart TV, with 90% unit test coverage. Outside work, I built Piggy Bank and developed a bilingual Arabic/English site for Anar for Empowerment and Psychosocial Support.
