  1. Oct 2025 — Present

    Full-Stack Software Engineer

    Challenge Group · Cairo

    • Owned end-to-end technical implementation of the Make it in the Emirates Awards platform (MoIAT) — a government-grade system for the UAE Ministry of Industry & Advanced Technology, supporting 2,000+ concurrent users.
    • Architected PostgreSQL schemas using Prisma ORM with targeted indexing and query-tuning strategies, reducing API latency by 35% under production traffic.
    • Built domain-driven full-stack modules with Next.js (frontend) and NestJS (backend), cutting feature rollout time by 25% through clear architectural separation and reusable abstractions.
    • Designed and implemented AWS infrastructure (VPC, EC2, RDS, S3, CloudFront, IAM, Secrets Manager) and established container-first deployment pipelines (Docker → ECR → ECS via CodeBuild / CodePipeline), cutting deployment time from ~20 minutes to under 5.
    • Implemented centralized monitoring and structured logging via AWS CloudWatch, reducing production issue detection time by 40%.
    • Enforced a comprehensive security posture: JWT authentication, RBAC authorization, structured validation, and API hardening aligned with enterprise security standards.
    • Built a full testing pyramid across frontend and backend — unit tests (Vitest), component tests (React Testing Library), and E2E tests (Playwright) — to ensure release stability.
    • Optimized SEO architecture using server-side rendering, a structured metadata strategy, and schema markup.
  2. Nov 2024 — Jun 2025

    Open Source Developer

    Information Technology Institute (ITI) · Internship · Egypt · Hybrid

    • Completed a rigorous, government-sponsored engineering program equivalent to ~1,200 hours of hands-on training in full-stack development, system design, and cloud deployment.
    • Built full-stack applications using React, Node.js, Django, and Flask; implemented secure RESTful APIs with structured authentication flows and role-based access control.
    • Designed relational and NoSQL schemas applying normalization and indexing strategies that improved query performance by 20–30%.
    • Containerized and deployed applications to AWS using Docker within Agile development cycles.
  3. Oct 2022 — Oct 2024

    Frontend Developer

    Freelance · Remote

    • Delivered a production-ready e-commerce platform using React and Context API, improving rendering performance and reducing page load times by 20–25%.
    • Deepened expertise in component architecture, state management, and frontend performance optimization while completing supplementary coursework in backend systems, cloud infrastructure, and algorithms in preparation for the ITI fellowship.
