GET/about
A backend engineer who keeps your product online.
Ahmed has spent the last eight years turning business requirements into backend systems that hold up under real traffic. Based in Giza, Egypt, he's shipped REST APIs behind more than a dozen production mobile apps, wired up a dozen different payment and compliance providers, and kept MySQL and PostgreSQL fast as data grew.
He works in PHP and Laravel end to end — APIs, admin panels, queues, scheduled jobs, and security — and picks up new integrations quickly, from ChatGPT-powered nutrition analysis to government transport-compliance systems.

How a project ships
The same disciplined process behind every product above — from first spec to production support.

Clean, documented Laravel code, written the way a teammate would want to inherit it.
Integrate
Payment gateways, maps, notifications, and AI APIs wired in and tested end to end.

Shipped with monitoring, queues, and error handling already switched on — not bolted on later.
