Omran Kablawi

Software Engineer

I build performant, scalable web solutions for startups and businesses. With well-designed architectures and tailored codebases, I help clients launch and operate with minimal costs — no unnecessary subscriptions, no bloat.

Omran Kablawi

Engineer, not just a coder

I'm a software engineer based in Lebanon with 3+ years of hands-on experience building web applications and APIs. I specialize in Laravel and PHP, but my work spans the full stack — from database design to frontend implementation to deployment.

My approach is different: I build vanilla frontends for better performance and SEO, and use frameworks only when they genuinely add value. Every line of code serves a purpose.

I work primarily with startups and small businesses who need to get online without burning through their budget. I design architectures that scale with the business — not solutions that lock you into expensive third-party tools from day one.

The story behind the build

Two projects that show how I approach real problems — from concept to working product.

Meftah — مفتاح

Property Rental App

Lebanon's rental market runs on agents and commissions. No dedicated platform existed for monthly rentals — the available apps are tourist-facing, useless for someone looking for a place to live long-term. Meftah fills that gap: a bilingual (Arabic/English) property rental app where owners list directly, tenants browse freely, and no agent takes a cut.

When the war displaced thousands of Lebanese families, Meftah added an emergency housing section — allowing apartment owners to offer free shelter to displaced people, directly through the app.

Built with Flutter and Laravel, the platform is fully owned and operated independently, with zero reliance on third-party listing services or recurring platform fees.

20 Clicks LCA

Life Cycle Assessment Tool

The client was running Life Cycle Assessments for the leather industry using SimaPro and Excel — a slow, expensive, and error-prone combination. Leather LCA is among the most complex in the field, involving multiple phases, dozens of variables, and results that need to be clearly communicated to stakeholders.

Over 8 months, I built a custom web application that replaces that entire workflow. Assessors now move through ~8 structured phases using dropdowns and input fields, with guided navigation at every step. On submission, results are automatically visualized in tables and graphs — filterable by phase or process — and exportable as a PDF report.

The client owns the platform outright. SimaPro licenses and the hours lost to Excel are gone.
