Backend tech lead from Banha, Egypt 🇪🇬. I write PHP and Laravel, mostly multi-tenant SaaS for teams in Saudi, the Gulf and back home.

$hamada = new Engineer(
    role:      'Backend Tech Lead @ York Holding',
    since:     2021,
    likes:     ['clean domain boundaries', 'boring deploys', 'strong coffee'],
    dealsWith: ['Odoo ERP', 'ETA e-invoicing', 'Nafath', 'Salla', 'Shopify'],
);

$hamada->rule(); // keep the business logic where it is when the vendor changes

Most of my work is the stuff that's annoying to get wrong: ERP sync, subscription billing, tax e-invoices, identity checks. Most of it sits in private company repos, so here's what you can actually look at.

Things I've built or worked on

• Dwelleo: real-estate SaaS. I'm leading it now, and I moved it from a modular monolith to microservices.
• Courssat Plus: an Arabic learning platform with 200k+ students.
• Accurate Logistics: shipping SaaS used by 160+ companies. It also has a Shopify app.
• Busnaa: school bus tracking. I moved it off Firebase onto Laravel and Postgres.

Open source you can install today

• nafath-php: Saudi Nafath login for PHP, with the parts the official docs forget already handled.
• whatsapp-manager: one API for WhatsApp Business that works with several providers.
• e-invoicing-signer: signs Egyptian Tax Authority e-invoices.
• task-management-api: a small Laravel API showing how I like to structure code.
• dev-scripts: tiny CLI helpers. pkg-link lets you live-edit a local Composer package inside a project.

Usual toolbox: PHP 8 · Laravel · MySQL · Postgres · Redis · RabbitMQ · GraphQL · Docker · AWS · GitHub Actions

I write about this stuff on my blog. To talk, email hamada@emam-tech.com or find me on LinkedIn. I'm open to senior backend and tech lead roles.
