Pragmatic Software Engineer
Full Stack Software Engineer from Cairo, Egypt. Building scalable applications, solving complex problems, and pushing limits both in code and on the climbing wall.
Selected Work
Here are some projects I've built that showcase my approach to solving problems with code.
TimeSync - Multi-Timezone Tracker
Full-stack React/TypeScript + Express app that lets remote teams track 400+ timezones with real-time clocks, solar day/night timelines, JWT-secured user dashboards, and Neon/PostgreSQL persistence for a responsive, mobile-friendly experience.
PriceIntel E-commerce Scraper
Work in ProgressWeb interface to track prices across multiple products and multiple retailers with scheduled runs that flags price changes automatically.
Traffic Data Scraper
Built a traffic surrogate data pipeline on different cloud providers to programmatically collect live travel-time estimates from public map services. Produced a historical dataset and a Tableau dashboard that provided coverage for non-instrumented corridors and informed traffic models and operational decisions.
eMISK Applications
A suite of waste management apps built for Kuwait's Environment Public Authority (EPA) to manage waste permits, hazardous waste transport, asbestos management, and waste treatment operations. These applications run multiple integrations with external entities, data pipelines, code-first migrations, React components in Razor pages, and are hosted on Microsoft IIS.
Opinion Pilot
Built an automated system that analyzes public statements to infer an individual’s leanings on sensitive topics. Developed a hybrid NLP pipeline using fine-tuned transformers and LLM reasoning to classify stances, aggregate insights, and generate clear, interpretable profiles for media and public-appearance screening.
