About Me

Technical leader, Co-Founder, and hands-on engineer with over 9 years of global delivery experience

A technical partner who drives product execution

I am a Senior Fullstack Engineer, Co-Founder, and Fractional CTO specializing in architecting highly scalable SaaS architectures. My experience spans LAMP, PERN, and modern JavaScript/TypeScript stacks. I design systems that resolve deep business friction, deliver clean infrastructure, and successfully scale to thousands of active users.

Beyond individual software engineering contributions, I manage a highly coordinated, pre-vetted squad of 3 developers. This unique model allows me to step in as a Technical Partner to design products, optimize DevOps, handle release pipelines, and deploy an entire team to ship complex MVPs in weeks instead of months.

What I bring to your project

  • SaaS & Marketplace Architecture: Designing scalable platforms from zero to launch using PHP (Laravel), Python, and Node.js.
  • Modern Frontends: High-performance, responsive UIs using Next.js, React, and Vue.
  • Database & DevOps: Scaling PostgreSQL/MySQL and managing containerized deployments via Docker & Kubernetes.
  • Legacy Rescue: Auditing, refactoring, and restoring heavy technical debt into stable, maintainable codebases.

My working model

  • 100% Remote: Operating asynchronously with an established track record of highly autonomous, self-managed delivery.
  • Flexible Execution: Available as an individual senior developer, a fractional CTO, or as a full product team (myself + my 3 developers).
  • Direct Communication: Straightforward, transparent, and direct technical updates in English or Arabic.
