What is Qoraal?
Qoraal is a free portfolio platform built for Somali professionals and the diaspora. It gives each person a single public page at qoraal.com/username showing their work experience, education, skills, projects, certifications, and writing — one link to put in a bio, on a CV, or in a job application. The name "Qoraal" means "writing" or "record" in Somali.
Profiles are public by default and built to be found by search engines and AI tools, not locked behind a login wall the way a LinkedIn profile or a private CV file is.
Who it's for
Qoraal is for Somali professionals and students — inside Somalia and across the diaspora — who want a single, credible link they can hand to an employer, a collaborator, or a community, in an interface available in both Somali and English.
How it works
1. Sign in with your email. Enter your email address and Qoraal sends a 6-digit code — no password to create or remember.
2. Claim a username and fill in your profile. Add your experience, education, skills, projects, and — if you want — articles you've written.
3. Share one link. Your page lives at qoraal.com/username permanently, free, and requires no maintenance.
Why Qoraal exists
Qoraal was built after watching students lose their work when the platforms they'd been taught to use shut down or changed their business model out from under them. The full story — and the founder's own profile — is at qoraal.com/harun.
Frequently asked questions
Is Qoraal free?
Yes. Qoraal runs entirely on Cloudflare's infrastructure, which keeps hosting costs close to zero, so there's no charge to create or keep a profile.
Is Qoraal only for people in Somalia?
No. Qoraal is built for Somali professionals both inside Somalia and across the diaspora — anywhere Somali talent is trying to be found by employers, collaborators, and communities in a language and format built for them.
How is Qoraal different from LinkedIn or a personal website?
LinkedIn depends on an existing network and a feed most employers never scroll to. A personal website usually requires technical skill most people don't have. Qoraal is a page anyone can set up in minutes with no coding and no password.
Who built Qoraal, and why?
Qoraal was built by a Somali developer after watching students lose their work when the platforms they'd been taught to use (Read.CV, Medium) shut down or changed their model. The founder's own profile and full story are at qoraal.com/harun.
