My Journey
Hey there! I'm a software developer who loves to get things done and make cool stuff happen. I'm pretty good with both English and French, which comes in handy in my work. My playground is the Microsoft Power Platform, Azure DevOps, SharePoint Framework, React Js, and ASP .Net Core Web API. I'm all about creating awesome web apps that are as fun to use as they are to make.
Outside of work, I'm a bit of a tech geek who loves learning new things, especially when it comes to the latest tech. But hey, I'm not all about computers. I love to swim - it's my chill time. And I get artsy with calligraphy, which is a surprisingly cool way to relax and get creative. Plus, I'm a bit of a bookworm and really get a kick out of diving into a good read.
I'm super energetic, with a huge passion for design and picking up new languages. It's all about mixing creativity with my love for technology. I'm a big believer in teamwork, and I’ve got a knack for figuring stuff out and solving problems. I'm always up for finding new ways to do things better, both in my work and in everyday life. My mix of tech skills, hobbies, and an ever-growing book collection makes me pretty versatile and I’m always ready to jump in and contribute to the team.
So, that's a bit about me. I love to keep things moving, keep learning, and keep having fun while doing it. Let's make something awesome together!

Projects
Work Order Management System – CA
date: 2021Description:In my role as a senior Microsoft 365 developer, I contributed significantly to the Work Order Management System project in Canada, utilizing a suite of modern technologies including SharePoint Online, Power Automate, SPFX, and React.js. This project was centered around the development of a comprehensive system designed to manage all stages of order processing and integration with the Financial Systems. This project significantly enhanced the efficiency and accuracy of order management and financial reporting within the organization.
IKCO- International Business Website
date: 2020Description:As the Team Leader and Senior Developer at IKCO, I led the development of an international website crucial for the sales and exports team’s negotiations with foreign clients. They need access to regional data according to location of the client. This strategic website provided tailored product data and sensitive contract information, catering to diverse regional needs and significantly contributing to the company’s international business strategy. Under my leadership, the project not only achieved technical success but also financial, saving the company over $400,000.
We designed Microsoft Restful APIs for the backend and used SharePoint 2013 as data storage and front-end.Internal Search Engine
date: 2019Description:In my role as a Senior Developer, I spearheaded a complex project to create an internal search engine for IKCO, akin to a local Google, designed to search through all company files and data. This extensive search tool was capable of indexing and retrieving information from websites, various databases, shared files, CMS, and more, all while adhering to user-specific access policies. The project was built on the SharePoint search engine.
Given the large scale of the company, the task of aggregating and indexing data from diverse systems was particularly challenging. I managed this project from inception to execution, configuring the search service, defining data detection strategies, and scheduling data indexing. I also developed privacy policies to ensure data security and compliance. Additionally, I customized the search service query and used Search service API and developed a local website interface for the search functionality. This project not only improved internal data accessibility and enhanced operational efficiency but also financial, saving the company over $250,000.Message Gateway
date: 2022Description:At IKCO, the largest company in the Middle East, I engineered a comprehensive messaging gateway application using React Js and Web API, enhancing both internal and external communications with features like SMS, Email, WhatsApp, and more. I also designed scalable and maintainable back-end and front-end templates using clean architecture, DDD pattern, and .NET Core Web API. Additionally, I developed a specialized module for the car manufacturing process, utilizing React.js and Redux, further showcasing my expertise in creating effective, industry-specific solutions.
Timesheet Management-UK
date: 2021Description:As a Senior Power Platform Developer, I played a key role in developing a timesheet solution for engineers, integrating with SCORO for project costing and XERO for payroll. My responsibilities included creating daily time entry forms and ensuring accurate recording for various pay rates, including night shifts and holidays. I also developed additional features like a manager’s dashboard and a leave request process, contributing to the project’s success in enhancing time tracking and payroll management.
