Work.

The full path.

Six employment chapters in chronological order. Two partnerships ongoing.

  • 2015 to 2021

    Marassi. North Coast.

    Six years inside the highest-end resort operations on the Egyptian North Coast. I started at eighteen as a temporary waiter and within two months was leading shifts. By the second season I was the only temporary employee in the resort's history ever trusted with full restaurant operations. Guests began telling me, often and unprompted, that it was the best service they had ever experienced. The chapter that taught me how to hold a system together and make the effort invisible.

  • 2018 to 2020

    Junior Software Developer. Aladl, Tanta.

    Junior developer and database administrator at a small financial office in Tanta. Two years owning the transactional MySQL layer, writing Python for ingestion and transformation, and building small desktop tools in Tkinter and PyQt that operations actually used. Two years that taught me the people who run the business at the end of the day deserve software that respects their time.

  • 2020 to 2022

    Full-Stack Developer. Hive Software House. Egypt.

    Full-stack developer at a software house. Worked across clinics, restaurants, retail, point-of-sale, and a clothing brand. The variety of contexts mattered. Each industry has its own assumptions about how software should behave, and I started to see the seams. Two years of learning to talk to operators in their own language and translate it back into a working system.

  • 2022 to 2024

    Mid-Level Engineer. AGC and AZcare.

    Mid-level full-stack engineer. API-first thinking. Documentation discipline. The chapter where I stopped working on tickets and started owning domains. Reliability became my currency. By the end of these two years I could be handed a tangled service and produce a clear spec, a working refactor, and a deployment plan inside a week.

  • 2024 to present

    Senior Engineer and Tech Lead. OutSmark and Smart Civic.

    Senior software engineer and tech lead at a digital consultancy. I lead a four-person team building the firm's main SaaS platform, the agents inside it, and a set of bilingual civic apps that run on top. I own the platform's infrastructure, ecosystem, and integrations. I run in-house consultations on product development cooperations. This is where I started to operate at the architecture level by default.

  • 2025 to present

    Senior Frontend-Focused Engineer. Ascend.

    Senior frontend-focused engineer at a US premium travel concierge company, remote from October City. Four hundred and thirty five Jira tickets in my first year, across nine phases of work. I took the public-facing portal from a basic state into a full platform with ten plus major features. I architected and shipped two fully self-owned features: a Notion-style Trips Workspace and the Ascend Analytics dashboard. The year that proved I can land features at the speed and the standard a US startup actually needs.

  • Partnership

    Wagdi Abo Elliel. Egyptian food ecosystem.

    Long-running partnership with one of Egypt's most popular food recipe influencers. What started as a single website build has grown into an ecosystem of small purpose-built tools under his domain: a content directory cataloging every recipe he has published, a community platform, an online store, an AI cooking companion drawing on his corpus, and automations that took his manual social workflow off his plate. Two years and counting. The brief now is what should we build next.

  • Partnership

    NabatX. Saudi marketplace MVP.

    Smart marketplace MVP built for the Saudi Arabian market. Multi-seller storefronts with bilingual support and Saudi-specific payment integrations. A basic auction system designed for categories where bargaining is part of the cultural texture of buying. And the piece I find most interesting: a Product Price Intelligence module that aggregates pricing signals across the platform and surfaces them in a way that informs decisions without overwhelming the user. The MVP is live. The platform is next.
