SELECTED WORK
A collection of custom software, DevOps, and cyber security case studies delivered for businesses across Dubai and the UAE — spanning legal-tech platforms, real-time systems, CI/CD pipelines, penetration testing, and secure infrastructure. Every case study covers the real problem, the technical approach, and the measurable outcome. Client names are withheld where confidentiality applies; the engineering detail is real.
Multi-Tenant CRM for a Legal Practice, Built for Confidentiality From the Ground Up
A multi-tenant CRM built to centralize case management, billing, and document generation for a legal practice's daily operations. Tenant isolation runs through django-tenants' schema-per-tenant model, and Arabic legal documents — previously drafted by hand — now generate automatically with correct right-to-left rendering.

Real-Time Notification System for a High-Traffic Web App
Built a real-time, scalable notification system to replace a polling-based approach that was overloading the database under peak load.
Migrating a Legacy Monolith to Microservices
Incrementally decomposed a decade-old .NET monolith into independently deployable services, without a disruptive full rewrite.
Automated Testing Pipeline for a Django Platform
Introduced automated testing and QA gating to a platform that had been shipping almost entirely on manual QA, reducing regression bugs reaching production.
Stabilizing a Shared Multi-Site WordPress Infrastructure
Diagnosed and resolved cascading reliability issues across 8 co-hosted WordPress sites sharing a single EC2 instance.
Deploying OpenVPN Behind Carrier-Grade NAT
Set up and troubleshot a self-hosted OpenVPN deployment operating behind an ISP's carrier-grade NAT (CGNAT), diagnosing intermittent connectivity failures.
CI/CD Pipeline Modernization for a Fintech Platform
Replaced a manual, error-prone deployment process with an automated CI/CD pipeline supporting zero-downtime releases for a platform handling live transactions.
Traffic Intelligence: A Self-Hosted Analytics Platform
Built a self-hosted, real-time traffic analytics platform as an alternative to third-party trackers, with full data ownership.
A Self-Hosted Document Management System
Built a lightweight, self-hosted document storage and sharing tool as an alternative to relying on third-party cloud storage.
GraphQL API Gateway for a Multi-Platform Mobile App
Built a GraphQL gateway in front of several legacy REST services to give mobile clients a single, efficient API without over- or under-fetching data.
Web Application Penetration Test & Remediation for an E-Commerce Platform
Ran a full penetration test against a live e-commerce platform ahead of a compliance audit, then remediated every finding before the deadline.
Centralized Log Monitoring & SIEM Rollout for a Growing SaaS Team
Set up centralized log aggregation and a lightweight SIEM so the team could detect suspicious activity instead of relying on scattered, unreviewed server logs.
Secrets Management & Access Control Overhaul
Replaced hardcoded credentials and shared admin accounts scattered across a team's codebase and infrastructure with centralized secrets management and least-privilege access.
Phishing Simulation & Security Awareness Program for an SME
Ran a phishing simulation campaign and built a lightweight security awareness program for a small team with no prior security training.
Container Security Hardening & Vulnerability Scanning Pipeline
Added automated container vulnerability scanning and hardening to a Docker-based deployment pipeline that had no security gating before images reached production.
TECHNOLOGIES ACROSS THESE PROJECTS
These 15 projects were built with .NET, Django, Node.js, and Laravel/PHP on the backend, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Redis for data, and infrastructure spanning AWS, Docker, and Linux server administration — plus a dedicated security toolchain covering SIEM, secrets management, and container scanning.
