Hi, I am Omar Shareef

Full-stack developer based in Giza.

Who I am

Software Developer & Arabic Linguist

I'm a dentist turned proofreader turned translator turned software developer. Being self-taught in three different fields, I've always been eager to learn what I find useful to me, which makes me a good researcher by intuition, and a problem solver at heart. I've recenlty completed an internship called Kalbonyan Elmarsos in which I learned thoroughly full-stack web development. I work with the MERN stack, and my current goal is to break into tech and land my first job in the software industry.

One thing I'm blessed to have achieved in my life so far is rasaif.com. I'm proudly one of the two main reasons this project exists. I was so excited working on it (as a linguist not as a developer). I have a deep deep passion for the Arabic language and Quran. If you happen to be the same, well, I'm glad you haven't extincted yet. If so, please get in touch, I'd like to be friends. I also love potatoes, lemonade, and regex!

Feel free to contact me if I can help you with anything in my skillset. I'll be happy to craft elegant websites for you.

If you see regex 3 times, don't bother. It's not a bug. I just love it.
