01 Selected work

Built with context.
Connected by design.

From the application people use to the infrastructure underneath it. Three featured perspectives, followed by more application, integration, and prototype work.

01 / Software × operations

VR Operations Dashboard

From paper reports to a connected workflow.

I designed, built, and deployed an internal reporting application for a multi-location VR business, replacing a paper-based daily workflow.

  • Node.js
  • Express
  • SQLite
  • JavaScript
  • Linux / PM2

Simplified system overview · not a product screenshot

Inside the project

The context

Daily reporting at PlayerOne Entertainment depended on paper. The application brought that workflow into a shared digital system without separating it from the tools used in daily operations.

My contribution

I independently owned the interface, REST APIs, database structure, authentication, integrations, and Linux deployment.

Engineering decisions

  • Role-based permissions separate access by responsibility; audit logging makes changes traceable.
  • SQLite supports the application’s relational data. Express exposes the REST API to a vanilla JavaScript interface.
  • Google Sheets export, WhatsApp notifications, and Odoo integration connect reporting to the wider operation. PM2 supports the Linux deployment.

Result & status

The application replaced paper-based daily reporting with an internal digital platform. Deployment and maintenance are documented; its present operating status needs confirmation.

02 / Architecture × product

Aldra Platform

A platform starts with the right foundations.

I shaped the architecture and technical specification for a Laravel-based multi-tenant SaaS platform, with a phased roadmap for implementation.

Technical specificationPhased roadmap

Conceptual architecture · implementation unconfirmed

Inside the project

The context

A multi-tenant product needs a clear structure before implementation: what is shared, what belongs to a tenant, and how the product can grow in manageable phases.

My contribution

I designed the architecture, wrote the technical specification, developed a phased sprint roadmap, and compared established site-builder and CRM products.

Engineering decisions

  • Tenant separation is an architectural consideration rather than an assumed property of the implementation.
  • A Laravel-based application provides the proposed foundation. The diagram illustrates the concept, not an implemented production topology.
  • The roadmap breaks the specification into implementation phases; no launch or production-readiness claim is made.

Result & status

A documented architecture, technical specification, and phased implementation plan. Implementation progress and release status remain to be confirmed.

03 / Infrastructure × exploration

Personal Infrastructure & Homelab

Understanding what happens beneath the application.

My self-hosted environment connects virtualization, containers, storage, and networking—a practical place to understand how services fit together.

  • Linux
  • Proxmox
  • Docker Compose
  • OpenMediaVault
  • Cloudflare Tunnel

Simplified homelab overview · not a network map

Inside the project

The context

Running services myself creates a place to work through deployment, storage, networking, TLS, backups, and troubleshooting beyond the application layer.

My contribution

I work with Linux, Proxmox, OpenMediaVault, Docker Compose, and self-hosted services, including Nextcloud and media applications.

Engineering decisions

  • Virtualization and containers let me explore different layers of service operation.
  • Reverse proxies, DNS, and secure remote access connect services without exposing private configuration in this portfolio.
  • Storage, permissions, and backups are part of the operational work, alongside deploying the applications themselves.

Result & status

A personal infrastructure practice environment for hands-on systems work. This is not presented as a commercial production platform or an exact public network map.

Further work & technical practice

Across applications,
operations, and prototypes.

More of my work, with a clear distinction between implemented systems, ongoing development, and technical design.

04 A little about me

Curious about
how it all works.

I’m Omar, a full-stack developer and IT engineer based in Beirut. My path into software began with electronics—and a need to understand what’s happening underneath.

I’m currently pursuing a B.S. in Computer Engineering at Lebanese International University, following a BT3 in Electronics at Al Makassed Vocational & Technical Center. Alongside my studies, I’ve worked across web applications, Linux infrastructure, networking, and hands-on technical operations.

Before Al Makassed, I attended Khaled Bin El Walid El Horj School (KBWH). At Makassed Expo 2023, I independently designed the 3D models for every project in an exhibition involving more than 10 projects, while contributing to documentation, presentations, circuitry, programming, and mechanical assembly.

That mix shapes how I build: I consider the interface, the service behind it, the machine running it, and the person who has to maintain it.
