Summary
Shafiq Al-shaar is a performance-driven Palestinian-Irish Project Manager and Technical Lead with nine years of hands-on experience delivering enterprise web and cloud solutions from Riyadh. He blends full-stack development (Laravel, Vue, Next.js, Flutter) with strong DevOps and cloud expertise (Ansible, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS), routinely converting architectural designs into production-ready systems with testing and support plans. As a pragmatic leader he has managed cross-functional teams and end-to-end projects—including an 11-month government engagement—and overseen over 50 proof-of-concept and hardware-integrated initiatives. His background includes building billing and ITAM systems that met strict infosec and UAT requirements for clients like Arab National Bank and telecoms, showing an ability to marry domain logic with scalable infrastructure. Comfortable in multiple languages (light experience in Java, Python, Go) and active in CI/CD and automation, he prioritizes reducing technical debt and measurable KPIs. Off the clock he keeps a playful curiosity about code and systems—“Gotta catch them all”—which drives continuous learning and pragmatic experimentation.
