What I'm looking for

I aim to grow into a Solutions Architect or Team Lead role, where I can drive technical direction and help teams deliver better products.

At Zoolatech (DAT Solutions), I’m integrating React Native into existing native iOS and Android apps within a monorepo. I implemented Realm with shared schemas across iOS, Android, and React Native, and created shared storage to synchronize state between native apps and React Native.

At Emirates Post, I developed and launched mobile and web applications for courier operations, customer services, and internal workflows. I developed the EMX Express and Emirates Post apps with React Native, Redux, and TypeScript, and integrated payment methods including Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, and Google Pay.

I’ve also worked on mobile and web products in banking, entertainment, logistics, and aviation. On personal project SYRE, I developed an AI-powered fitness app with personalized HIIT workouts, and on Fiyuu Kurye I consulted on the release of a new rider app, including its payment module and CI/CD flows.
