What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can own backend architecture and performance, build scalable APIs, and ship measurable improvements in reliability and response time—while collaborating closely across product and engineering.

I’m a Backend Engineer with 4+ years of experience building scalable data-intensive systems and high-performance APIs across government and enterprise platforms. I’ve delivered 17+ projects, 1,000+ API endpoints, and 300,000+ lines of production code supporting 50,000+ users and handling 1M+ requests.

I thrive on owning backend architecture end-to-end—designing normalized schemas, implementing business logic, and optimizing for performance, scalability, and maintainability. Recent work includes engineering FilmSA and DAEM for Saudi government platforms, including a complex rebate workflow engine and an OCR-to-structured-financial-data pipeline.

I’m hands-on with rigorous validation and systems thinking—whether it’s building multi-constraint scheduling modules, hierarchical referral processing for large trees, or concurrent-safe university registration flows. I reduced registration time from 4 months to 1 week for GPMS, while supporting 1,100+ students and thousands of sessions with zero downtime.

I also bring a strong competitive problem-solving mindset (ACPC Finalist, 1,000+ solved problems) and a growth-oriented engineering approach. As a co-founder, I guided backend decisions across high-traffic products, and I’ve contributed to open-source by building a Laravel toolkit that standardizes API development patterns.
