Baraa Alshaer
I ship full-stack products — the interface, the backend, and the deploy. Fast, clean, and built to last.
Now
I'm currently shipping indie tools and open source, with client work in the mix:
Client platforms, an AI gradient tool, and an example-driven Python guide.
Before that, I was a full-stack engineer at SamTax, with earlier frontend roles at Sustainable Star and Perfect Touch.
