What I do

I treat a product as one system, not a pile of features. I design how the parts fit together, build every layer, and stay on the hook when it has to scale.

  • Senior, end-to-end.

    Architecture, backend, web, mobile and infra, with one senior engineer accountable for all of it.

  • Multi-tenant by default.

    Tenant isolation, role boundaries and billing-aware data. I build platforms, not single-purpose apps.

  • Ship to production, then defend it.

    I don't disappear at v1. Observability, deploy pipelines, and on-call hygiene come standard.

  • Clear with non-technical clients.

    Founders and ops teams shouldn't need an interpreter to work with their engineer. I write decisions down.

How I work

How a project runs.

Nothing proprietary: the same four steps whether the work takes six weeks or six months.

01

Listen first

I want the business problem before the tech stack. The 30-minute scoping call, then a working session, a shared doc and a clear definition of done before any code.

02

Map the seams

Domain model, surface area, deploy topology. Decisions you can't undo cheaply get locked down here.

03

Ship in slices

End-to-end vertical slices, deployed early, behind feature flags. You see real software inside two weeks, not a Gantt chart.

04

Hand it over

Docs, runbooks and a clean README. Whether your team takes over or I stay on retainer, handoff is part of the job.

Ways to work together

Three ways to work with me.

Want something custom or longer-term? Here's how we can work together. Every engagement starts with one 30-minute call.

Recommendations

What people I've worked with say.

Clients and the people who managed me, in their own words. The LinkedIn-verified one is marked.

"He rebuilt our case system while the team kept using it every day, which I honestly didn't think was possible. Our clients now check their own case status instead of emailing us."

Remon AdelCTO, Recovery Advisers

"Live auctions don't forgive mistakes. One bid in the wrong order and you lose a buyer's trust. Ahmed owned that part, web and mobile, Arabic and English, and it held up when real traffic hit it."

Mohamed AtefTech Lead, Yelo Sale

"I'm not technical, and Ahmed never made me feel it. He built the whole platform and explained every decision in words I could follow. When he handed it over, we actually knew how to run it."

BandarFounder, Ibdaa Course & Applyni

"Ahmed handled the engineering and a lot of the design for our store and internal tools. For a company our size, that meant one person who understood both the product and the business, instead of two who didn't talk."

Amr KhalafCEO, Compass Med

"We manage reviews for a lot of locations, and before this it was tab after tab. Now it's one screen, with replies drafted for us. He also flagged problems before we ran into them, which doesn't happen often."
