I engineer commerce that performs.

I'm Zakaria, a full-stack PHP engineer who loves building things that real businesses depend on every day. I work across the whole stack — data modelling, back-end architecture, integrations and performant, accessible front-ends.

I've been writing software since 2013 — from C# store-management apps, to native PHP and Laravel / Next.js websites as a freelancer, to Magento & Hyvä platforms at scandiweb. I also hold a Master's degree in Mathematics and Computer Science (17.5/20).

Most of my work lives in e-commerce: Magento / Adobe Commerce platforms, Hyvä themes, custom modules and Laravel services that keep stores fast under heavy traffic. I care about clean code, predictable deployments and measurable results.

I communicate clearly with technical and non-technical people alike, in English and Arabic, and I'm at my best in teams that value ownership, honesty and shipping.

final class Zakaria extends Engineer
{
    protected array $stack = ['Laravel', 'Magento', 'Hyvä'];
    protected array $speaks = ['en', 'ar'];

    public function ship(Idea $idea): Product
    {
        return $this->understand($idea)
            ->architect()
            ->build(tested: true)
            ->deploy(); // on Friday? sure.
    }
}
