How I work

Three habits behind every product on this page. Scroll through them.

  • 01

    Start with the flow that matters.

    Every project begins with the one path that makes money or saves time, built end to end and put in front of real users before anything else gets attention.

  • 02

    Own the whole stack.

    API design, data models, the interface, the tests, the pipelines and the cloud bill. One person accountable for all of it, with no hand-off to wait on.

  • 03

    Leave it better than I found it.

    Clean architecture, tests that earn their keep and documentation a new engineer can read on day one. The next version should be cheaper than the last.

What I can build for you

Every engagement is scoped after a short call, so the price comes from the scope, not from a menu. Pick one, say hello, and you get a real number back.

The stack, end to end

Node.js and React at the core, Laravel when PHP is the right call, and the cloud work most teams outsource.

Ten years, three countries, one way of working.

I have spent ten years building web products for companies in Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United States: a grocery app that finds families the best prices, a fleet platform wired into the Saudi regulators, and a marketplace with a thousand experiences across eighteen cities.

I work best owning a product end to end, from the data models and APIs through the interface, the tests and the cloud bill. At Suplift that took me from senior engineer to technical director in three years. Today I build for Stretch, a US grocery startup, and take on selected projects on the side.
