About Me

Backend-minded engineer who ships full products.

Computer Science graduate from Minia University with hands-on experience across full-stack and backend development. I've shipped real-world SaaS platforms, POS systems, and e-commerce applications, with a focus on RESTful API architecture, database design, and the full software development lifecycle. Continuous learner through ALX, NTI, and DEBI programs, with a growing passion for scalable systems and clean software architecture.

My story

I graduated with a B.Sc. in Computers and Information from Minia University, where coursework in software engineering, operating systems, database systems, and system architecture gave me a solid foundation — but it was building real projects outside the classroom that shaped how I actually think about software.

My focus has consistently been backend development: designing REST APIs, modeling databases that hold up under real usage, and building the authentication and authorization layers that keep systems secure. From there I moved into full-stack work — POS systems, SaaS platforms, and e-commerce applications — because understanding both sides of a product makes the backend decisions better, not worse.

I care about scalable systems, clean software architecture, and problem solving over chasing every new framework. Programs like ALX, NTI, and DEBI have pushed me to keep that foundation current, and I'm actively looking for a team building enterprise applications or SaaS products where that mindset matters.

What I Focus On

Where I add the most value

Backend Development

API design, business logic, and services built to stay maintainable as they grow.

REST API Architecture

Consistent, well-documented endpoints that client teams can build on with confidence.

Database Design

Normalized schemas and query optimization for MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQL Server.

Auth & Security

JWT, role-based access control, and defense against CSRF/XSS by default, not as an afterthought.

Software Architecture

SOLID principles and design patterns applied to keep systems testable and extensible.

Problem Solving

Comfortable breaking down ambiguous enterprise requirements into shippable increments.

Let's build something reliable together

I'm currently open to Backend, Full-Stack, and PHP Developer roles. If you need someone who cares about clean architecture as much as shipping fast, let's talk.
