Experience
Freelance Web Developer (self-employed) · Mansoura, Egypt (remote)08/2024 – Present
Part-time until 07/2026, full-time since. 20+ websites for clinics, tourism, real-estate and e-commerce clients in Egypt and Saudi Arabia, most of them for returning clients.
- Built a tourism platform end to end, from interface prototype to custom WordPress theme, custom plugin, content and launch; every section is editable from the dashboard through custom blocks and fields.
- Built a custom WordPress site for a car dealership in Saudi Arabia on the same block-based architecture (pre-launch; mobile performance being optimised before go-live).
- Improved a live clinic website’s speed: service-page mobile Lighthouse score 47 → 70 and Total Blocking Time 1,370 → 290 ms (lab, Oct 2026).
- Built a clinic website in WordPress and cut server response time (TTFB) from 0.6 s to 0.1 s with server-level page caching.
- Built a custom Shopify Online Store 2.0 theme with custom sections and blocks editable in the theme editor.
- Restored 7 WordPress sites within one day after an admin account was compromised, then hardened them (login-attempt limits, read-only core files, hidden login URL).
