Full-stack engineer in Cairo, currently at The POST. I build web products in Arabic and English — live-data platforms, subscription apps, internal dashboards.

The call that mattered most in each. The problem, the build and the rest of the story are a click away.
Live currency, gold and fuel prices for Egypt
Prices push over WebSockets instead of polling, so a tab left open all morning stays correct without hammering the API. A stale price is worse than no price, so the interface announces a reconnect rather than quietly showing an old number.
A subscription translation platform, sold worldwide
Billing runs through Lemon Squeezy as merchant of record, so VAT and cross-border compliance are bought rather than rebuilt badly. Traffic sits behind Cloudflare for rate limiting and bot filtering, which keeps the origin small.
Turning plastic waste into building materials
English and Arabic share one layout system instead of two templates, so the RTL site is the same site and not a mirrored copy that drifts. Motion paces the story down the page and stops there.
Correct beats clever.
A price that has silently gone stale is worse than no price at all. I would rather spend the week on the failure cases than on the animation.

Arabic is not a translation.
RTL changes layout, typography and numerals, not just text direction. I build both directions from one system so neither is the afterthought.

Buy the hard parts.
Tax, compliance and bot traffic are solved problems owned by other people. I reach for a merchant of record and an edge proxy before writing my own.

I’m Youseef. I build web products end to end — currently with The POST, and independently for clients who need something shipped properly rather than quickly.
Most of the work is live-data platforms, subscription products and internal dashboards. Angular and Node by default; Django and Postgres when the data model earns it.
I care about the parts people actually feel: first load, forms that don’t lose your work, and Arabic that behaves like a first language instead of a mirrored afterthought.
Client and institutional projects, 2024 — 2025.
HR evaluation, automated
Turns employee evaluation cycles into dashboards a team can act on, instead of spreadsheets nobody opens twice.
Premium furniture, online
A furniture and lighting store built to browse like a catalogue — large imagery, calm pacing, a checkout that stays out of the way.
A public faculty, online
The official faculty site: bilingual, readable on old devices and slow connections, built to stay current for a decade.
A clinic people can trust
A surgery and aesthetics clinic site built around helping patients find the right procedure and book with confidence.
