Samaale General Trading Co.
Freelance Web Developer
- Architected and shipped a production B2B trading platform from scratch using React 19, TypeScript, and Vite, structuring 30+ source files (~9,000 LOC) around strict type-safe data models to eliminate an entire class of runtime errors.
- Improved load performance by implementing double-layer lazy loading -- React.lazy() code-splitting paired with a custom IntersectionObserver-based render utility -- alongside vendor chunk splitting for faster Time-to-Interactive.
- Built a zero-dependency bilingual (English/Somali) internationalization system from the ground up using React Context, covering the entire UI without adding third-party i18n libraries.
- Designed and deployed a secure serverless API on Cloudflare Workers, chaining bot protection (Turnstile), field validation, and SHA-256 hash-based rate limiting to safely handle form submissions at the edge.
- Achieved WCAG-compliant accessibility by engineering a custom focus-trap hook for nested modal dialogs, validated through automated Playwright + axe-core audits in CI.
- Developed an interactive Leaflet-based logistics map and decoupled event-driven architecture (custom pub/sub via browser CustomEvents) to keep unrelated components loosely coupled and maintainable.
