MERN / full-stack collaborations

My work lives where business rules meet data — tenancy, approvals, inventory, settlements, permissions. Get those right and the interface has something solid to stand on.

Over five years and five companies I’ve moved from hand-writing SQL scripts and REST services to designing whole platforms: the API, the admin console, the storefront and — when the job calls for it — the mobile app beside them.

Most of it runs real operations: maintenance for a property complex in Doha, ticketing that sells real seats, a CRM that answers WhatsApp messages, a storefront that works in Arabic as well as English.

How I work

  1. 01

    Enforce rules where they can’t be bypassed

    One exam attempt per student, server-only grading, national-ID uniqueness — business-critical rules belong in the service and database layer, not just the UI.

  2. 02

    Keep credentials off the client

    A backend-for-frontend layer means raw JWTs never reach the browser. Security is an architecture decision, not a patch.

  3. 03

    Model the business before the screens

    Property → sub-location → unit hierarchies, store settlements, consignment lifecycles. Get the data model right and the interface follows.

    Own it through to production

    In every role I’ve deployed what I built — servers, environments, and the security review that comes after.

The path so far

From SQL scripts to whole platforms.

Each step added a layer — database, API, interface, product, platform.

  1. 2013 – 2020

    Foundations

    BSc Computer Science, then an MCA — both at the University of Calicut.

  2. 2021

    First production backends

    At SOXO Tech: Node.js and NestJS services, hand-written SQL, and the first deploys to real servers.

  3. 2022 – 23

    Healthcare and full stack

    NestJS and MongoDB for healthcare products at DRxTx, then React and Next.js on top at Oyvaa.

  4. 2024 – 25

    Product suites

    At Amalgamate: the Amber ERP & loyalty suite, an internal service CRM, and a live ticketing platform.

  5. 2026 →

    Whole platforms

    Senior at Matamix: multi-repo systems with API, admin, storefront and mobile, for clients from Kerala to Doha.

02Selected work

Platforms that run real operations.

Commerce, property operations, education, ticketing and CRM — each one a coordinated set of API, admin and client applications.

Fashion Corner

Multi-store fashion commerce with a bilingual EN/AR storefront, an operations console, and inventory settlement between the platform and partner stores.

  • Backend-for-frontend authentication

    Both Next.js apps proxy API calls through their own server routes, so the browser holds a session rather than a bearer token. It removes a whole class of token-theft issues most storefronts accept by default.

  • Reservations, not just stock counts

    Inventory is tracked per warehouse and location, with explicit reservations and stock transactions — so a unit in a customer’s checkout isn’t sold twice, and every movement is auditable.

  • Settlement as a first-class model

    Store agreements and settlements are modelled directly, making commission and payouts between the platform and each partner store a query instead of a spreadsheet.

  • i18n from the routing layer up

    The storefront is locale-routed with next-intl, so Arabic isn’t a translation pass bolted on at the end — layout direction and content switch together.

Property operationsBaab Al Rayyan · Doha, Qatar

Baab Al Rayyan PMMS

Property maintenance platform for a Doha property complex — asset tracking, procurement and maintenance tickets across nine roles, on web and mobile.

The problem

Maintenance, assets and purchasing were separate problems handled by different people. The complex needed a single system where a tenant’s ticket, the technician who fixes it, the part that gets used and the purchase order that replaces it are all connected — with each role seeing only what it should.

Ticketing

U Events

Event ticketing platform with interactive seat maps, VVIP seating, food add-ons, payments and real-time seat availability.

The problem

Seat-based ticketing fails in the moments that matter: two people selecting the same seat, a payment completing after the seat is gone, or an admin account being taken over.
