Senior Backend Engineer · Distributed Systems · Event-Driven Architecture · Scalable APIs
I build production backend systems that handle real load.
Currently at Bosta, owning fulfillment infrastructure processing 8K–14K+ daily orders for 1,500+ merchants.
Previously co-built a social commerce platform serving 25K+ merchants with 1M+ orders and 20M+ messages.
Pub/Sub, Saga orchestration, distributed transaction patterns, compensating transactions High-throughput APIs
Webhook ingestion at 2K+ req/min, idempotent processing, ordering guarantees, replay mechanisms
Row-level data isolation, per-tenant middleware, schema migration strategies Performance engineering
Node.js event-loop profiling (clinic.js), query optimization, composite indexing
Docker, Kubernetes (GKE), GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, GCP Cloud Run Real-time systems
FSM-based bots, WebSockets, Redis hot state, social commerce inboxes
Secrets management platform for dev teams. AES-256 encryption per variable, granular team RBAC, audit logging, and environment promotion across Dev / Staging / Prod.
Async standup platform for small teams. Private workspaces, text and voice updates, automated daily digest reports with team analytics. Built full-stack end-to-end.
From-scratch implementations of production systems in Python, built to understand internals from first principles:
- Tiny Git — SHA-1 DAG, staging index, diffing, commit traversal
- Tiny Redis — multithreaded TCP server, RESP protocol, TTL, disk persistence
- Tiny SQLite — file format parsing, B-tree traversal, SELECT execution
