# Hanein Fattouh — Shopify & WordPress Engineer

Shopify & WordPress Engineer · Cairo, Egypt

Bilingual builds that read right in both directions.

I'm a freelance Shopify and WordPress developer building custom Liquid themes, ACF block systems, and RTL-aware Arabic/English experiences for clients across the GCC, Europe, and Egypt. No page builders faking it — I write the code.

Stores and sites built from the code up

A mix of Shopify Liquid builds and WordPress/ACF architecture — filter by platform.

Featured Build

Oatful — market-aware bundle logic for four GCC countries

A Shopify redesign on the Impact theme with atomic SKU migration across 23+ products and geo-targeted logic that changes pricing, VAT, and shipping thresholds for UAE, KSA, Qatar, and Oman — without duplicating templates.

About

Engineering-minded, bilingual by trade

I'm a Computer Engineering graduate turned freelance developer, with 40+ projects shipped across Shopify and WordPress. I don't build on templates — I write the Liquid, the ACF blocks, and the PHP myself, which is what lets me take on the parts of a build most developers hand off: geo-targeted pricing logic, forensic order audits, hack recovery, live checkout bugs.

Bilingual isn't a feature I bolt on at the end — it's how I architect from the start. Arabic/English clients get one codebase that reads correctly in both directions, not a translated skin over an English layout.

Outside of client work, I free-dive and dive recreationally along the Red Sea — the same patience for detail under pressure carries over to debugging a live store at 2am.
