Freelance DevOps and IT infrastructure for medical and dental practices, MVZ and health-tech teams.
I lead infrastructure and DevOps at hessnatur. Before that I spent almost five years at Calida Group Digital, first as a senior full-stack developer and then as head of platform infrastructure, and two years on the software behind Marc O’Polo.
I started building websites in 2004 and still build a few for clients. That keeps me close to the code that ends up running on the platforms I look after.
Next to that role I work freelance: practices and MVZ get IT that holds up in daily practice, software and health-tech teams get DevOps and infrastructure.

Oct 2006
My first job, at a small start-up. I was the only developer and designer of taybe.net, later renamed bokra.net, which grew into one of the largest Arabic-language news sites in the region.
Platforms and websites I build and host next to my job. The websites run on Ghost with a theme of my own, Tailwind and Vite, deployed as Docker containers.

Case study
An app that teaches children and families to read and write Arabic. I build the app and the platform under it: Kubernetes clusters defined in Terraform, CI/CD templates shared by every repository, and monitoring with metrics, logs, traces and profiles in one place.

zahnarztpraxis-st-peter.de · 2026
A dental practice in Nuremberg, moved from WordPress to Ghost. Service pages and patient guides in eight languages including Arabic, online booking through the practice's booking system behind a two-click consent, and a map drawn from OpenStreetMap data on the site's own server.
“Omar rebuilt our practice website from scratch, in eight languages, and has looked after running it ever since. I no longer have to deal with the technology behind it.”

ayahawadi.com · 2026
A bridal and evening-wear fashion house. Behind the public site runs the studio's own software: catalogue, rental, sale and made-to-measure orders, production stages and payments. Staff sign in with passkeys, and the staff portal locks like a computer screen after a minute without use. A server in the shop runs its own copy of the app under the same address, so selling goes on when the internet is down, and its database syncs with the main server.

A car repair shop in Salzburg-Schallmoos. The home page opens with a scroll-driven trip through an engine, followed by service pages for the gearbox flush, §57a inspection and tyres, and a guides section.
