Building digital experiences
A passionate developer who turns ideas into reality through code
Hello! I'm Anwar Barakat, a Mid-Level Full-Stack Developer based in Dubai, UAE. My journey in tech began with a simple curiosity about how websites work, which quickly evolved into a deep passion for creating digital experiences that make a difference.
With 3+ years of experience, I've built production platforms in EdTech and school trip booking. I specialize in full-stack development using Laravel, React, and TypeScript, with a focus on complex workflows, payment systems, and real-time features.
When I'm not coding, you'll find me exploring new technologies, or sharing knowledge with the developer community. I believe in continuous learning and staying at the forefront of web development trends.

Built two production platforms at Tripz — a school trip booking system and an AI-powered e-learning platform — serving schools, destinations, and parents with automated workflows, real-time communication, and secure payment processing.
As part of my role at Tripz, I built Ednet (ednet.ae), an AI-powered e-learning platform covering 10+ subjects across grades 10–12, aligned with the UAE Ministry of Education curriculum. Features include 300+ video lectures, OpenAI-powered quiz generation, and real-time student progress tracking.
Developed an automated membership and certification system for volunteers. Implemented comprehensive admin and volunteer control panels, managing requests, payments, profiles, and reporting.
