Things I've shipped

All projects →
01

Vouch

A hiring platform for Kuwait and the GCC, designed from a blank page around one promise: every job here is real, and every employer answers. 82 screens and 642 prototype links across a 15 page website at two breakpoints, an 18 screen mobile app, and 29 dashboard screens covering job seeker, employer and internal admin. The position comes from the data on ghost jobs rather than from features, and the whole system runs on four variable collections that switch theme and language.

Filament Atelier

A visual page builder for Laravel, shipped as a Filament plugin. Developers define blocks in code, clients arrange them and watch the real page update as they type.

Sufra

A meal subscription brand for Kuwait, designed from a blank page: name, position, palette, type, copy, then the three surfaces the business would run on. 162 frames and 1,719 prototype links across a 28 page marketing site at two breakpoints, a 32 screen mobile app, and a 46 screen dashboard covering both the subscriber account and the operations CMS. The position is taken from why people cancel rather than from taste, and the whole product is built around one number: the 22:00 kitchen cutoff.

WP2Code

A Claude Code plugin that ports a WordPress site to Laravel, Next.js, Astro or plain HTML by measuring the original instead of rebuilding it by eye. It mirrors the live site, drives headless Chrome to read getBoundingClientRect() on both the original and the port, and prints a section-by-section table of height and position deltas. Nine commands cover the loop from detecting the page builder through to deleting the mirror. Tested against a live Elementor site: 159 assets mirrored with zero references left pointing at the origin, and the site's whole design system recovered from computed styles.

Training Board

A gym scoreboard over 1,324 animated exercises, built to be used one-handed on a phone between sets. Filter by split, muscle or equipment, then log sets against an exercise while the animation plays. It tracks volume, week streaks, personal records, 28 milestones across three tiers, bodyweight and InBody scans, and multi-week programmes that render as today's checklist instead of a catalogue. Next.js 16 and React 19 on Appwrite, installable as a PWA, deployed to a VPS in Docker. It started on Payload and Postgres and moved to Appwrite in a day.
