A bit about me
Hi there! I'm a front-end software engineer based in Dubai with 6+ years of experience building scalable, high-performance web applications. I stumbled into software by chance, but the more I got into it, the more I loved it.
At Noon I've worked across the core marketplace, the enterprise CMS that powers Noon, Namshi, Noon Minutes and Home Services, and the Noon Business B2B platform on web and mobile. I care about reusable component architecture, clean state management and front-end performance — and about always learning, which led me to an M.Sc. in Artificial Intelligence & Computer Science.
