About

I don't just write code; I engineer systems that handle millions of requests. With 9+ years of experience (6+ years in Saudi Arabia & UAE), I specialize in building high-performance backend architectures for enterprise giants and fast-growing startups. I have optimized high-traffic food delivery routes for Circle K, migrated legacy microservices for Careem, and engineered dynamic pricing models for Lugmety. Currently, I am bridging the gap between traditional PHP/Laravel development and the new world of Generative AI. I build "Agentic" systems—software that doesn't just store data but "thinks" using RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) and Vector Search. 🛠️ Core Technical Stack: Backend Engineering: PHP 8+, Laravel (Expert), Symfony Components, Node.js. API & Architecture: RESTful APIs, Microservices, ERP Systems, Docker, CI/CD. Generative AI: OpenAI API, Gemini, LangChain, RAG Implementation, Vector Databases. Database: MySQL Optimization, Redis Caching, Complex SQL Querying. 🌍 Gulf Experience: I understand the specific needs of the GCC market—from ZATCA e-invoicing compliance to handling massive traffic spikes during Ramadan. I am based in Riyadh (Transferable Iqama) and ready to deploy scalable solutions. 🚀 Open to consulting and senior leadership roles.
