What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a software development role where I can build user-focused full-stack applications, contribute to collaborative Agile teams, and continue growing in backend development, UI/UX, machine learning, and data-driven solutions.

I've built full-stack systems for field data collection, online exam management, and internal tools, using JavaScript, NestJS, PostgreSQL, and REST APIs.

At the Institute of Hajj and Umrah Research at Umm Al-Qura University, I developed and maintained web-based systems and internal tools while collaborating in Agile teams with Git. I also developed dynamic web applications during my internship at Digital Upgrade ME using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, and PHP.

My computer science graduation project classified six speech emotions using machine learning and deep learning, reaching 96.9% accuracy. I enjoy creating efficient, user-focused solutions and continuously expanding my full-stack, UI/UX, data, and cloud development skills.
