IraqWhat I'm looking for
As a dedicated entrepreneur and software engineer, I have a proven track record of developing innovative solutions that enhance user experiences and streamline processes. My journey began with founding a SaaS startup focused on educational platforms, where I successfully raised $12,000 in grant funding and managed a team of five to build scalable systems. My experience as a Fullstack Web Developer at Graswald GmbH has further honed my skills in backend and frontend development, utilizing technologies such as Node.js, React, and AWS to create robust applications for the entertainment industry.
In addition to my technical expertise, I am passionate about empowering the next generation through education. As a Python coach for IOM UN Migration, I developed a curriculum that made programming accessible to children, fostering their creativity and problem-solving skills. My commitment to community engagement is evident in my work with IoT Kids, where I trained young learners in coding and robotics, leading them to victory in a local coding marathon. I thrive in collaborative environments and am eager to contribute my skills to projects that make a meaningful impact.
