A unified job search platform for students in Egypt, co-founded to address the fragmented hiring landscape. The platform consolidates job listings, applications, and employer outreach into a single experience. Beyond engineering, this project involved navigating business requirements, cost modeling, and user research — providing exposure to the full product lifecycle.

A cross-platform ERP system deployed across multiple companies, automating the full quote-to-tax lifecycle. Generates quotes and invoices, digitally signs and submits e-invoices directly to the Egyptian Tax Authority, and runs on a fault-tolerant local server — enabling non-technical users to operate the entire workflow with minimal training.

Key features:

  • Reliable invoicing — Handles the complete invoice lifecycle from creation through digital signing, submission, and status tracking, with fault-tolerance mechanisms ensuring no data loss

  • ETA integration — Seamless electronic invoicing with the Egyptian Tax Authority, including real-time submission status and compliance handling

  • Universal modern UI — Cross-platform experience (mobile + desktop) with consistent design language, intuitive enough for non-technical users to onboard in minutes

  • Blazing fast queries & search — Optimized data layer providing instant search and retrieval across all company entities (customers, invoices, payments, purchase orders, reports), even as data scales across branches

Tech Stack: React Native, Expo, TypeScript, Supabase, Electron, Tauri, Node.js

Reddit Clone

A full-featured Reddit clone built with the MERN stack, leveraging Next.js SSR for performance. Key highlights include:

  • Rich text editing via Tiptap for post and comment composition

  • Form validation with react-hook-form and Zod schemas

  • Server-side rendering for fast initial page loads and SEO

  • Real-time interactions and UI parity with the original platform

The project demonstrates proficiency across the full stack — from database modeling to pixel-perfect UI replication using Tailwind CSS and shadcn components.
