Stand4Gaza
A full-stack talent platform prototype connecting Palestinian professionals with global employers—featuring bilingual UX and culturally-informed design.
Tech Stack :
The Problem
Palestinian professionals face barriers accessing global employment opportunities.
Traditional job platforms lack cultural sensitivity and adequate bilingual support. They fail to address the unique challenges of connecting talent in conflict-affected regions with international employers.
The Solution
A managed talent platform connecting verified Palestinian professionals with global employers.
Key focuses:
- Dignity and cultural identity — Design elements inspired by Palestinian heritage
- Bilingual experience — Full Arabic and English support with RTL
- Practical usability — Interface that serves all users effectively
Technical Implementation
Architecture
Clear separation between frontend and backend:
- React 19 for the frontend
- Express.js for the API backend
- PostgreSQL + Drizzle ORM for the database
Key Technologies
- Wouter — Lightweight routing with minimal bundle impact
- Framer Motion + Lenis — Smooth scroll and micro-interactions
- Passport.js — Secure session-based authentication
- TanStack Query — Efficient data fetching
- Zod — Data validation across client and server
Design
Cultural elements (Tatreez patterns) implemented without performance compromise. 40+ reusable UI components built on Radix primitives with strict TypeScript.
Outcome
This project demonstrates full-stack capabilities:
- API design and database modeling
- Authentication flows and complex state management
- Designing for culturally diverse user bases
