Shareef Tracker — Cross-Project Ticket Tracker

Solo · Full-Stack Engineer · 2026 — Present

A personal, local-only ticket tracker that gives me one board across every project I work on — with a twist: tickets are pushed in by a Claude Code skill I run inside any repo, so nothing ever scrapes my code. Built to daily-driver quality, with a "Command Deck" board I actually run my own work through. In use locally — contact for project access or more info.

Digital Wedding Invitation — Four Renditions of One Printed Card

Solo · Design & Engineering · 2026

My own wedding invitation, rebuilt for the phone. One printed card became four digital renditions — two scrolling pages, a 39-second film for WhatsApp, and a set of shareable image cards — all driven by a single content file and one shared, hand-drawn design system. The interesting part is the constraints: a fact that must never be rendered, an Arabic webfont whose failure is invisible, and a QR that has to survive being re-decoded out of a compressed video.

  • Vanilla JS
  • Hand-authored SVG
  • CSS
  • Node.js
  • Playwright
  • Swift · AVFoundation
