01 about ~/about

Backend engineer specializing in Node.js APIs, multi-tenant SaaS, and the infrastructure that runs them.

I co-founded and shipped a production platform that turns WhatsApp conversations into structured orders for Gulf merchants, owning API architecture, payments, and containerized AWS deployment end to end.

I take ownership of the whole path to production — schema design, authentication and tenant isolation, caching, then Docker, Nginx, and deployment. Ranked #1 team in Sudan at the IEEEXtreme 19.0 Global Programming Competition.

  1. Jan 2026 — Present Dubai, UAE · Remote

    Co-Founder, Backend & DevOps Engineer

    Zameel · Business Solutions Suite — zameel.co

    • Co-founded and shipped a production multi-tenant SaaS platform that lets Gulf merchants take and fulfil orders directly over WhatsApp, replacing most of their manual order handling
    • Architected the Node.js/Express backend on MySQL 8 and Sequelize with a Redis caching layer; schema and indexing work cut hot-path query times by roughly a third and halved external AI API spend
    • Built the LLM-powered order-parsing engine (Gemini, DeepSeek, Claude) that extracts structured orders from mixed Arabic/English messages at ~87% accuracy in production
    • Led the Tap Payments to Stripe migration end to end — checkout sessions, webhook validation, subscription billing — with zero downtime and a measurable lift in completed transactions
    • Shipped two further products on the same backend: Zameel Forms, an Arabic-first WhatsApp-native form builder, and the full admin panel covering platform settings, job postings, and applicant tracking
    • Containerized every service with Docker Compose and owned production deployment on AWS EC2 behind Nginx, standardizing releases and sharply reducing configuration incidents
    • Secured the platform with JWT authentication, RBAC authorization, strict per-tenant data isolation, and MFA
  2. Jan 2024 — May 2024 Khartoum, Sudan

    Backend Developer

    IntelliSoft Technologies · E-commerce platform

    • Designed and built secure RESTful APIs for a high-traffic e-commerce platform, improving order-processing throughput
    • Implemented authentication and authorization end to end, including password hashing and multi-factor authentication
    • Tuned MySQL queries and added caching to hold performance under load, and wrote unit and integration tests to protect reliability
  3. Jun 2020 — Mar 2023 Khartoum, Sudan

    Founder & Lead Developer

    Tedddby · Self-run software service business

    • Built and ran a self-funded software service end to end, serving 15,000+ paid transactions and roughly $20K in revenue as sole engineer and operator
    • Wrote the high-volume PHP backend (RSA request signing, OpenSSL cryptography, X.509 certificate handling), a Node.js/MySQL customer portal with payments, and a C# desktop tool for internal automation
