Omar El hawary
Front End Developer
I craft sleek, interactive interfaces that merge performance with visual clarity using React, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS.
I’m a London-based software developer who enjoys building fast, intuitive, and visually engaging web experiences. I’ve always been drawn to the overlap between design and technology, taking creative ideas and shaping them into something functional, scalable, and smooth to use.
My background in Computer Science at Queen Mary University of London gave me a strong grounding in logic, algorithms, and software design. But what really pushed me forward was discovering how much I enjoy front end development, bringing design concepts to life through code and creating interfaces that people actually enjoy interacting with.
Whether I’m refining a UI system, experimenting with new frameworks, or just trying to make something feel more natural to use, I focus on crafting experiences that balance clarity, speed, and personality.
Outside of coding, I spend most of my free time at the gym training calisthenics, getting into chess, or on the court playing tennis and padel. Occasionally I’ll pick up a badminton game if I’m in the mood to spoil myself. I also love exploring new tech ideas and side projects—anything that challenges me to build something fresh and meaningful.
I’m currently looking to join a team where I can grow as a front-end or full-stack developer, work on projects that have real impact, and keep learning from the people around me.
