I’m a senior developer with a first programming certificate earned in 1985 and four decades of hands-on software building. I deliver practical, maintainable solutions: Python apps, automation scripts, data pipelines, APIs, custom dashboards, and integrations across cloud and on-prem systems. I’ve been a full-time freelancer since 2021 and previously spent 22 years in industry, turning messy processes into reliable tools. Core stack: Python, VBA, Google Apps Script, SQL, C#, and Java. Also experienced with desktop GUIs, spreadsheets at scale, reporting, OCR, and third-party API integrations; comfortable picking up other languages and frameworks as needed. I hold a Master’s in Finance (1998), bringing strong analytical rigor to cost models, forecasting, and compliance logic. Languages: English, French, Arabic. If you need clean code, clear communication, and on-time delivery, let’s talk.

Portfolio

This photo shows an official Certificate of Achievement awarded on 11 September 1985 by the Pedagogic Institute Zahleh to Jihad Georges Saliba, certifying successful completion of a computer session in both Operator and Programmer (Preparatory Step) levels. The training was conducted in the BASIC programming language, which was foundational in early personal computing. The certificate highlights an early and formal entry into programming, demonstrating active involvement in software development and computer operation from the mid-1980s—well before the widespread adoption of personal computers. It serves as documented proof of a professional journey in programming that began at a time when computing was still in its formative stages, underscoring deep, long-term expertise in the field.

Programmer since 1985

This certificate confirms that I was awarded a Master's-equivalent degree in Finance from Université Saint-Joseph – Institut Universitaire de Technologie, Beirut, on 15 June 1998. This academic foundation has supported over two decades of professional experience in various areas of finance, including financial analysis, business management, budgeting, and investment strategy. The degree represents the formal beginning of a career deeply rooted in both academic training and real-world financial expertise.

Multimodal n8n RAG Workflow • $2,011 USD

I needed a cloud n8n automation. I assumed the solution would be cloud-based solution because that's what people want generally . Jihad created a local solution and when I raised the issue said that he could migrate to the cloud in essence for additional money. .He seems to be competent, but if you use him, be very specific. The good news is that the local solution works. The bad news is that it is not useful. Freelancer said, on my appeal, that it was my fault for not being more explicit.
