Hello, I'm

Malak Saiid.

<Junior Software Engineer and Full-Stack Developer/>

I turn ideas into thoughtful interfaces
and complete, scalable web applications.

Computer Science graduate and Software Engineering Master's student building with React, Node.js, Express, MongoDB, REST APIs, authentication, and cloud technologies.

Curiosity meets practical engineering.

I’m a Computer Science graduate building my next chapter in software engineering.

Currently pursuing a Master of Software Engineering at Lebanese University, I build full-stack web applications with the MERN stack, connecting responsive interfaces with REST APIs, authentication, and databases.

My work with the Norwegian Refugee Council has shaped how I approach information, digital tools, and collaboration: with care, accuracy, and a focus on the people who use them.

I’m drawn to problem solving, AI, and scalable software—and to teams where I can keep learning while contributing to meaningful products.
