About
Frontend-focused full stack engineer
A quick look at how I work and what I value.
I'm Mustafa Elhdad - a frontend-focused full stack developer with a background in control systems engineering and hands-on experience delivering scalable, high-performance web applications. At Designal Engineering, I lead the frontend team, architect complex features, and keep the codebase clean, maintainable, and fast.
I enjoy roles where I'm both coding and leading: planning sprints, reviewing code, and working closely with backend and UI/UX to ship production-ready features. I'm also rebuilding Noor Edu Academy's platform using Laravel to deliver Arabic and Quran education online with better speed, security, and simplicity.
I care about performance, scalability, and user-first design - and I'm always open to freelance, remote, or impactful full-time work on ambitious products.
Outside of work, I like exploring new frontend stacks, refactoring old projects, and experimenting with better DX/UX patterns.
