About

Engineer first, pixel-obsessed second.

Portrait of Zekaria M. Hussien

I'm a fullstack developer with a strong background in building responsive, user-friendly web applications. Over the last 4+ years I've delivered production software with React, Next.js, Node.js, Express and Python Flask — from clinic management systems to e-commerce platforms and mobile apps.

I started in civil engineering, and that discipline still shapes how I work: measure carefully, build on solid foundations, and sweat the details others skip. I'm committed to best practices, clean architecture and shipping software that holds up in production.
