Prince Shammah

6+ years building scalable web applications with React, Laravel, Node.js, and Python across cloud platforms (AWS, Google Cloud). I design high-performance RESTful APIs and architect CI/CD pipelines that accelerate delivery cycles. I drive organic traffic growth through technical SEO audits, structured data implementation, and Core Web Vitals optimization.

I build automated web scraping pipelines using Python, Playwright, and Puppeteer for large-scale data extraction. I champion test-driven development and integrate AI-powered tools to enhance product intelligence and development velocity.
