Luxe Noir — Shopping Cart
A luxury dark-theme fashion storefront built with Next.js 16 and TypeScript. Products are fetched from the DummyJSON API, grouped by collection, and managed through a React Context cart with a slide-in drawer. Built as part of The Odin Project React curriculum.
Memory Card Game
A Pokémon-themed memory game built with Next.js 16 and TypeScript. Twelve cards are fetched live from the PokeAPI, reshuffle after every click, and track your current and best score. Built as part of The Odin Project React curriculum.
CV Builder
A dynamic CV builder built with React 19 and Vite. Fill in your details across six sections, watch an A4 preview update in real time, and export a clean single-page PDF with one click via html2pdf.js. Built as part of The Odin Project React curriculum.
Lost & Found Web Platform
A full-stack lost-and-found platform built as my college graduation project. Node.js and Express on an MVC architecture, EJS + Bootstrap frontend, and a MySQL database — with user authentication, item reporting with photo uploads, and email notifications. Designed and developed end to end.

Vintagia — Curated Antiques Marketplace
A buy-only mobile marketplace for authenticated antiques. Every piece is curated, provenance-verified and sold at a fixed price — bringing the calm of a gallery visit to a category that usually feels like a crowded auction house. A practice project covering the full journey: research, flows, a tokenized design system and 30 high-fidelity screens in two themes.

Alzahraa Hospital — Bilingual Website
A bilingual (English/Arabic, full RTL) hospital website designed to build trust and make departments, stats, and contact easy to find — designed end-to-end in Figma.

Lost & Found Web Platform
A community platform for reporting and recovering lost items — browse by category, post what you lost or found, and reach owners directly. My final-year graduation project, designed in Figma and built end-to-end as a full-stack web app.

Front-end Developer
Ui-Ux Designer
I'm a self-taught developer and designer based in Iraq. I started with HTML and CSS out of curiosity and haven't stopped since. Today I work across the full design-to-code pipeline — from user research and Figma prototypes through to deployed Next.js applications.
I care deeply about clean interfaces, fast experiences, and code that's easy to reason about. Every project I build is shipped to production — nothing stays in a drawer.
