Full-Stack Engineer · Dublin

I build tools people actually use.

I take things from a vague idea to a running platform: the database, the payments, the emails, the admin panel, the polish. My automations are custom-built and deterministic by design, reliable, not a black box, with AI added only where it genuinely helps. Versatile, adaptive, and happiest building things that make someone's day easier.

What I do

I care about the whole product, not just the pretty part. I've shipped a booking-and-commerce platform, co-founded an art marketplace, published a Chrome extension people rely on daily, and built dozens of internal tools that quietly save teams hours.

That range is the point. I move comfortably from WordPress and WooCommerce to Django, Next.js and React Native; from a Google Apps Script that routes approvals to a full marketplace with real-time chat and payments. I build the boring, reliable parts properly, and reach for AI only when it makes the thing genuinely better. I grew up in Palestine and worked in an Arabic-first university setting, so I build systems that support Arabic, right-to-left and all, as a first-class concern.

Tools & automation

The tools that make a team run

Custom internal tools, deterministic by design: built for a specific workflow, reliable, and easy to trust. Some use AI, but the logic stays in my control, never a black box. A selection from Dublin City University, where I also customise MoveON (QS) with XSLT pipelines and automation rules.

Erasmus+ Budget Calculator

A React tool for KA171 budget planning: multi-year grant rates, travel distance bands and DAC/ODA compliance flags, with partner-outreach emails generated inline.

Allocation Dashboard

Cross-references student nominations against bilateral-agreement allocations with fuzzy university matching, ISCED compatibility checks and faculty-level routing.

KA171 Database Dashboard

A central dashboard to manage KA171 cohorts, partners and participants across several concurrent grants, each with its own compliance rules.

Visa & Invitation Letter Generator

Generates official visa and invitation letters from participant records at the click of a button, no more manual copy-paste into templates.

Partner Outreach Generator

Produces tailored partner-outreach emails with the right agreement details, contacts and programme context filled in automatically.

SharePoint ↔ Sheets Bridge

A Power Automate and Apps Script pipeline that syncs the office's Microsoft and Google environments so data flows both ways without manual re-entry.

Earlier · Al-Quds Bard

A suite of campus workflow systems

Built for the college on Google Forms, Sheets and Apps Script: a request comes in, a script validates and routes it through a multi-level approval chain, then fires the right emails and logs everything. One dependable pattern behind several systems.
