EgyptWhat I'm looking for
I am a backend engineer with 2+ years of production experience building scalable, high-performance systems. I design and implement event-driven architectures, job-queue solutions, and containerized services—recently developing production backend systems at Kenzy App and training LLMs at Outlier.
I have delivered real-time notification systems and parallel job-processing pipelines, performed load testing and performance optimization, and managed production Linux servers and CI/CD workflows. My work is grounded in clean architecture, SOLID principles, and measurable performance improvements across PostgreSQL, Redis, RabbitMQ/pg-boss, and cloud deployments.
