Full Stack Software Engineer

Full Stack Software Engineer

I'm a full stack engineer with 3+ years of professional experience, working primarily in .NET Core, Angular and Azure. My focus is translating product requirements into clean, maintainable systems: event-driven microservices, offline-first platforms, GIS tooling and multi-tenant SaaS. Currently a software engineer at HawarIT Limited.

.NET Core & C# Angular & TypeScript Azure & Cloud Microservices Docker

A few highlights:

Built an offline-first multi-tenant POS system with event-driven sync, designed for connectivity-poor environments

Reduced Revit model sync from ~25 minutes to ~5 minutes through parallelization and delta sync

Improved CI/CD pipelines and deployment reliability; mentored junior developers across both roles

About Me

Happy moment Beach vibes Book collection

I care about well-designed APIs, clean architecture and systems that stay maintainable as products evolve. My work spans event-driven microservices, offline-first platforms, BIM/GIS tooling, and multi-tenant SaaS, mostly in .NET, Angular and Azure, with some Python and AI tooling on the side.

Outside of code, I mentor junior engineers, work on improving deployment and observability practices and keep an eye on how LLMs and AI tooling are changing what software engineers actually build. I also travel when I can, read widely and follow One Piece.
