961 News
A Lebanese digital media platform and super-app combining news, channels, mini-apps and services. I worked across its frontend and backend as a Senior Software Engineer (contract, Apr–Jul 2026), contributing to internal tools and Breaking News workflows.
Tech Stack
The Challenge
961 is a large, high-traffic platform made up of a web app, mobile apps, a news algorithm, a chat service, an ads manager, analytics and several supporting services. A system of that size needs ongoing tooling, maintenance and infrastructure work to stay coherent.
The Solution
Where I worked
I worked across the frontend and backend of the platform and contributed to its internal tools and Breaking News workflows.
Database migration and infrastructure
I worked on the PostgreSQL migration, along with performance and infrastructure-related improvements.
Production systems
I supported production systems involving AWS CloudFront and Cloudflare, which sit in front of a news platform where traffic spikes when stories break.
The platform is live at 961.co with iOS and Android apps. The repositories are private, so there is no source link here.
