What I do
Custom websites and web applications built for performance, scalability, and conversion. From landing pages to full-scale SaaS platforms serving clients across Dubai and the UAE.
Cross-platform mobile applications for iOS and Android. Built with React Native for a native experience with a single codebase — reducing cost without cutting corners.
End-to-end e-commerce development — product catalogues, payment gateways, inventory management, and checkout flows optimised for UAE and MENA markets.
AWS infrastructure, REST API design, third-party integrations, and cloud migrations. Scalable architecture that grows with your business without breaking the bank.
Connected hardware and real-time dashboards that bring operational data to life. Smart monitoring, alert systems, and data pipelines for industrial and retail use cases.
Building resilient, scalable blueprints for complex digital ecosystems. We design high-availability infrastructures, microservices patterns, and robust API layers that grow with your business.
Technical SEO, performance audits, conversion optimisation, and analytics setup. I don't just build — I help you understand why it's working and how to push further.

Get in touchAbout me
I'm Mervyn Stunner — a full-stack software engineer and digital growth strategist based in Sharjah, UAE. I've spent 9 years turning product ideas into functioning software, with 5 of those years working directly with businesses across Dubai, Sharjah, and Abu Dhabi.
My background spans both hands-on engineering and IT management — which means I understand how technology needs to serve a business, not just how to write the code. I've worked with e-commerce brands, industrial operators, service businesses, and early-stage startups.
I work across the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js), with production experience on AWS, React Native for mobile, and integrations with everything from payment gateways to IoT hardware.
Currently available for freelance engagements — project-based, retainer, or embedded on a team. I work with clients locally in the UAE and remotely worldwide.
