Backend Engineering • Security • Architecture — I build systems that think cleverly and behave clearly, from the database up to the API contract.

I'm a software engineer based in Cairo, focused on backend engineering, security, and system architecture. I care about the parts of a product users never see — the data model, the auth flow, the failure modes — because that's what keeps everything else standing.
Outside of client work, I write about backend architecture and contribute to a couple of open-source security tooling projects.
Three areas I focus on, rather than trying to be everything to everyone.
Reliable services and APIs built with .NET and PostgreSQL — from first commit to production deploy.
Auth flows, access control, and hardening reviews so the product stays safe as it scales.
Clean, documented systems and data models built to scale with the product, not against it.
Practical, project-based courses on backend engineering, security, and system design.
Derive the architecture from the constraints, and defend it in the review.
From Junior to a strong Mid-Level .NET engineer — through practical learning, weekly sessions, and real code reviews.
Tell me a bit about it — I usually reply within a day.
