EgyptWhat I'm looking for
I am a backend and cybersecurity engineer with hands-on experience designing and deploying scalable backend systems, managing Linux servers, and integrating modern BaaS solutions. I build resilient, high-performance services and middleware, and I prioritize security, automation, and operational reliability.
My projects include a secure LLM-based code reviewer, deployment and hardening of bare-metal servers and VPS environments, and orchestration of full-stack applications using Pocketbase, Next.js, React Native, and Cloudflare Workers. I lead teams, drive operations, and continuously expand my networking and security certifications to deliver production-ready systems.
