Eighteen.
Independent.
Building.
Engineering student by day. Independent web developer the rest of the time. Founder of Califts. Operating from Cairo with clients worldwide.
I build the websites and web apps that serious brands need.
I'm 18, currently an engineering student in Cairo, and have been building on the web for four years. In that time I've shipped 25+ projects — agency marketing sites, full-stack client portals, founder-led e-commerce, high-end digital menus.
My day job is independent: I design the brand, write the code, deploy the site, and maintain it. No agencies, no handoffs, no excuses. The work that comes out the other end is the work I'd want as a client.
I co-founded Califts, a gymwear brand inspired by old-school 80s/90s aesthetics. Running a business while shipping for clients keeps my work grounded in reality — every design choice I make is one I'd defend with my own money on the line.
When I'm not building, I'm thinking about psychology, brand strategy, luxury aesthetics, fitness culture, and how compounding works.

What's on the bench
this week.
-
today
Allan Portal · v2
Wired the new approvals timeline. Pin threads now keep history when a cut moves to a new version — producers stop losing context across revisions.

Califts · SS26
Set the SS26 storefront preview behind a magic link for the team. Lookbook drop sequence locked, copywriting in second pass.

Odoriko
Allergen system rebuilt as a real data layer — replaces the hand-edited tags. Service staff can update on the iPad without dev help.

Qabbany.com
Shipped v2 of this site — cognac-gold densify, mock-UI cards, live status across hero and CTA. Goodbye gallery-empty.
Six things I won't compromise on.
-
01
Premium is not a finish.
It's a posture. Either every decision is held to that standard or the polish is performative. I'd rather ship rough-and-unforgettable than polished-and-forgettable.
-
02
End to end, or not at all.
I design, build, deploy, and maintain. No handoff seams. The site you ship is the one I committed to from day one.
-
03
Five seconds or it failed.
If the visitor isn't landed in the first five seconds, the rest of the page is academic. I design every project around that window.
-
04
No agency speak.
"Passionate about pixel-perfect experiences" is the sound of someone with nothing to say. I'd rather show the work.
-
05
Built for conversion,
not for the deck.A site that looks great in the Behance carousel and doesn't sell is a poster. Every project I ship has to earn — clicks, leads, sales, applications.
-
06
The work is the brand.
No invoiceware. No "powered by." No watermark. If the work is good, the brand grows on its own. If it's not, no logo will save it.
