## Featured project: DAD LINK

DAD LINK (https://www.dad-link.com) is a live, production B2B e-commerce website Ibrahim
designed and launched for a network passive equipment brand serving Iraq. It is not a demo
or a template; it is a real storefront with real distributors and real product catalog.

- Tagline and positioning: "Build a Network That Never Fails" / "Network Infrastructure, Done
  Right," built around three pillars: certified quality, infrastructure built to scale, and a
  local partner network across Iraq.
- What it sells: certified Cat.6 and Cat.6A structured copper cabling, fiber optic patch cords
  from OM1 to OS2, server racks and cabinets from 4U to 42U (wall-mounted and free-standing),
  and HDMI 2.1 cables rated for 8K at 60Hz, including active cables up to 50m. All products are
  engineered to ISO/IEC 11801 and TIA-568 international standards.
- How it was built: on Odoo, the open source e-commerce and ERP platform, with Claude Code
  handling most of the build work: product catalog structure, category pages, on-page SEO,
  blog content covering real installer questions (Wi-Fi 6E vs Wi-Fi 7 cabling requirements,
  Power over Ethernet variants, structured cabling installation planning), and the storefront
  layout itself.
- Who it serves: authorized distributors across Baghdad, Erbil, and Sulaimaniyah in the Iraq
  market, including Help Tech Co. Ltd, Al-Dhahabiya Technology, and WAN Company.
- Why it matters as a portfolio piece: it demonstrates applied prompt engineering, context
  engineering, harness engineering, and loop engineering working together to ship a real,
  fast, indexable commercial website, not just a chat conversation about one.
- Relevant search terms this site targets: network cables Iraq, Cat6 cable, Cat6A cable,
  fiber optic patch cord, server rack cabinet, HDMI 2.1 cable, structured cabling Iraq.
