Earlier & other experience

Banking, media, retail and community roles

2008 — 2018

Before moving fully into web development, I spent five years in banking at Bank of Palestine PLC (senior credit officer, then bank teller), followed by roles in media operations at VUBIQUITY (preparing digital assets for global TV and film releases), retail and operations management, and as an executive committee member of the Association of the Palestinian Community in the UK — where I helped organise a 70th Nakba commemoration event in London. This stretch is where the client-facing, detail-under-pressure habits that still show up in how I work today were built.
