What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build secure, scalable, user-friendly web products where I can lead backend and full-stack delivery, improve performance and reliability, integrate complex systems, and keep learning modern technologies.

I’ve built and modernized web platforms for Conovo Technologies, WWF, Good Guys Tech, NEOM, OneV Inc, and Altcode Labs, spanning backend services, full-stack applications, third-party integrations, and cloud deployments.

At NEOM, I implemented a RabbitMQ-based microservices architecture that cut system downtime by 90% and increased message-processing throughput by 60%. I also optimized MongoDB for high-traffic applications and integrated Nafath, Municipal Department APIs, and Azure Active Directory.

For WWF, I developed a responsive Next.js website with Prisma, MySQL, REST APIs, Stripe donations, an admin panel, and AWS infrastructure across EC2, RDS, and S3. At Good Guys Tech, I led a legacy-platform revamp that improved system performance by 80% and introduced a custom loyalty program.

I enjoy building secure, scalable, user-friendly products through practical system design, reliable APIs, efficient databases, testing, caching, and CI/CD automation. I’ve also led backend technical strategy and worked closely with product leaders, designers, stakeholders, and cross-functional engineering teams.
