Backend Engineer & Technical Partner
Building SaaS Products & Business Platforms
What I Do
I typically work with startups and businesses facing backend complexity, performance bottlenecks, integrations, or scaling challenges.
Need to connect your product to external services, or open it up to partners? I design and build APIs that integrate cleanly and don't break when requirements change.
App getting slower as you grow? I diagnose the bottlenecks: slow queries, timeouts, traffic spikes, and fix them before they become a customer problem.
Inherited a codebase that's slowing your team down? I untangle it, re-architect what needs to change, and leave you with something your developers can actually build on.
Building a SaaS product from scratch or adding complexity to an existing one? I own the backend end-to-end: multi-tenancy, billing, admin, and the data model to support growth.

Proven Results
Real impact for the businesses I've partnered with.
One platform running several competitions at once, onboarding participants in minutes.
Built from scratch to run multiple competitions simultaneously: multi-role access for participants and judges, real-time scoring, and detailed reporting. I led the full team and built the bulk-import tool that onboarded thousands of participants in minutes instead of by hand.
A feature-rich module shipped on a tight timeline, with no trade-off in quality.
I owned the architecture and data model, then used AI to accelerate the repetitive layers. Every line reviewed.
From fearing every deployment to shipping new features with confidence.
Legacy PHP codebase had become a barrier to growth. Rebuilt on Laravel incrementally, users stayed live throughout.

Any team would be lucky to have him.

I highly recommend Mohamed. He's a very solid backend architect who actually cares about the business goals, not just writing code. He kept our system scalable, solved technical challenges smoothly, and was a great asset to the team.

Founder, ASaaSI Middle East
Mohamed helped us very well in our PHP project as fullstack lead developer. In a very short period of time he built a solid code base around a good architecture. He is analytical, process-driven, and a good person to work with. I highly recommend Mohamed for any software development project!

About Mohamed
Ten years across SaaS, fintech, e-commerce, and custom platforms means I've seen the same backend problems repeat in dozens of different forms. That pattern recognition is what you actually get when you hire me: not just someone to write the code, but someone who knows which architectural decisions will hurt you in six months.
I've helped founders and product teams across Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the Netherlands, and the U.S. build systems from scratch, rescue ones that were falling apart, and make technical decisions that don't cost them later.
