What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can build and maintain full-stack web applications, own documentation and reporting, and collaborate with a team where I can contribute to project delivery and continuous improvement.

I’m a Full Stack Developer with a Bachelor of Information Technology from the University of Tripoli (2014–2019). I combine hands-on web development with strong technical communication, so projects stay organized from planning through delivery.

Before and alongside my development work, I built confidence as an educator—teaching English to young learners and adults across multiple centers (2019–2021). This experience strengthened my presentation skills and my ability to explain complex ideas in a practical, easy-to-follow way.

From 2020–2025, I worked at the Information & Documentation centre—Ministry of Justice, where I also served as Department Head for 1.5 years. I managed teams, supervised multiple IT projects, created monthly and quarterly reports, and led documentation, progress tracking, and evaluation of software projects while developing and maintaining multiple full-stack projects (sometimes using open-source tools).

As a freelancer (2021–2026), I translate Arabic to English on demand and support IT work with full-stack e-commerce website experience—plus documentation and presentation deliverables. I also designed promotional leaflets, project booklets, templates, and business documents using Canva and PowerPoint, alongside article translation volunteering for Global Voices.
