Full history

01. About

Engineering philosophy, grounded in fundamentals

I believe great backend engineering is about decoupling: systems that communicate through well-defined contracts, fail independently, and scale horizontally without rewrites.

My work centers on event-driven architectures — API Gateways that centralize cross-cutting concerns, message queues that absorb traffic spikes, and observability pipelines that make production behavior transparent.

Security is not a feature; it is an architectural constraint. I design with zero-knowledge principles so sensitive data never leaves the client unencrypted.

02. Experience

Where I've made an impact

  1. Software Engineer (Collaborator) @ National Authority for Diabetes

    May 2026 — Present

    Tripoli, Libya

    Working as a software engineer to develop, integrate, and secure the authority's core systems into a unified and robust infrastructure.

    • Engineered robust system integrations to seamlessly connect and synchronize the authority's platforms.
    • Implemented advanced security measures to guarantee data protection, secure communications, and safe processing workflows.
  2. Lead Backend Engineer @ Vanex

    Feb 2026 — Present

    Tripoli, Libya

    Leading the backend engineering effort to migrate a monolithic logistics platform into an orchestrated microservices ecosystem.

    • Architected the microservices orchestration layer with a centralized API Gateway handling authentication, rate limiting, and request routing.
    • Designed event-driven pipelines on RabbitMQ to decouple services and guarantee reliable, asynchronous message delivery across the platform.
    • Implemented MongoDB-based audit logging for full traceability of critical business operations.
    • Established DevOps governance with Nginx reverse proxying and PM2 process management for zero-downtime deployments.
  3. Backend Engineer @ Vanex

    Sept 2025 — Feb 2026

    Tripoli, Libya

    Contributed to core backend services and system architecture for the logistics platform during its scaling phase.

    • Developed and optimized core microservices endpoints to support high-throughput delivery operations.
    • Collaborated on database design and query performance tuning across relational and non-relational stores.
  4. Backend Engineer (Freelance) @ Independent / Freelance

    Nov 2024 — Sept 2025

    Tripoli, Libya

    Delivered custom backend solutions, RESTful APIs, and database architectures for various clients.

    • Designed and implemented scalable RESTful APIs using Laravel and Node.js tailored to client business logic.
    • Integrated third-party services, payment gateways, and authentication modules securely.

03. Projects

Selected work

Systems I've designed and shipped — from open-source developer tools to enterprise platforms.

Open-Source SaaS & Developer Tool

LogPilot AI

An AI-powered logging and telemetry platform that ingests application logs through lightweight SDKs and performs RAG-powered root cause analysis on production incidents.

  • Event-driven ingestion pipeline built on FastAPI and RabbitMQ for high-throughput log processing.
  • Semantic log search using pgvector embeddings for retrieval-augmented root cause analysis.
  • Published official SDKs for Node.js and Laravel, enabling one-line integration.

AI-Powered Desktop Application

DataPilot

A standalone AI-powered SQL editor and database management desktop app that lets engineers query, explore, and manage databases with natural language assistance.

  • Cross-platform desktop client built with Electron backed by a FastAPI intelligence layer.
  • Hybrid retrieval with Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF) combining semantic and keyword search over schema metadata.
  • Zero-knowledge architecture: database credentials are encrypted client-side and never touch the server.
