Muhammad Salah
@muhammadsalah1
I build banking, fintech, and blockchain products from architecture to production.
EgyptWhat I'm looking for
I'm currently designing banking integrations and retail and digital banking products at Suez Canal Bank, where I produce the architecture and delivery documentation teams build from.
At Guavo, I built a product from zero: the database schema, NestJS APIs, React web client, React Native mobile client, Kubernetes deployment, and CI/CD. I took features from vague customer conversations to production and helped onboard ten enterprise accounts in the first year.
I've delivered a SWIFT PACS ISO 20022 Instant Remittance System for Banque Misr, designed for high availability and horizontal scale, and built blockchain platforms across Hyperledger Fabric and Ethereum. My work has included smart contracts, token flows, KYC, and a Kafka-based Fabric ordering service in production.
I work best where requirements need clarifying before code gets written. Across banking, fintech, healthcare, and marketplace products, I bring end-to-end technical ownership from architecture through shipped systems.
