Web Development Skills
The skills below are the ones used to build this site:
- Semantic HTML5: page structure, forms and labels that work with assistive technology.
- Responsive CSS: a mobile-first layout that adapts from phones to desktops, without a CSS framework.
- JavaScript (vanilla): real-time calculators with input validation, unit switching and copy-to-clipboard, with no external libraries.
- Web accessibility: keyboard focus styles, skip links, ARIA live regions for results and labelled inputs.
- Technical SEO: canonical URLs, XML sitemaps and schema.org structured data.
- Testing calculation logic: checking formulas against worked examples and edge cases, such as rounding and unit conversion.
His Role on This Site
- Writes and maintains the calculation code for every tool.
- Documents each formula, default value and rounding rule on the methodology page.
- Reviews reported errors and records fixes in the change log.
Scope of Expertise
Mubarak's expertise is in building and testing software. The calculators use standard geometry and published unit conversions, which he has implemented and documented. He is not a civil engineer or driveway contractor, so construction topics on this site (depth, base layers, soil and material choice) are general planning information. Confirm those decisions with a qualified local contractor or supplier.
