Experience

NeuraScale · Founder & AI Product Engineer

Feb 2024 – Present · Remote (Egypt)

  • Built and operate production products solo (RetailOS multi-tenant POS SaaS, MedPrüf exam prep, Bridge Sourcing B2B, Harmonia POS, Blink cafe OS) on TypeScript, Next.js, Supabase/PostgreSQL, and Vercel, serving live paying users.
  • Shipped MedPrüf, an Austrian medical-licensing exam prep platform, growing it to 10,700+ active questions across 3 exam types and 16 specialties, by building an AI content pipeline with strict-format explanation generation in German plus 7 locales, subscription payments, and a 7-tab admin dashboard.
  • Cut portfolio-wide LLM spend 28% with no quality regression by building model routing, prompt caching, and context-budget enforcement; published the per-change breakdown publicly.
  • Took RetailOS from hand-managed to invite-only multi-tenant SaaS in a 48-hour sprint by shipping 12 PRs and 12 PostgreSQL migrations (RLS hardening, webhook signature auth, idempotency, server-side re-pricing) with zero data loss.
  • Raised extraction accuracy from 82% to 96% on Bridge Sourcing’s supplier-data pipeline (20 structured fields per record) using hand-labeled calibration sets, deterministic validation outside the model, and human-review acceptance gates; published the full engineering breakdown.
  • Scaled a one-person engineering org by designing a multi-agent build harness (research, build, review, and test lanes with human approval gates); open-sourced the agent memory layer (Mnemonic) and the eval tooling (llm-eval-ci).
  • Selected as a paid evaluator of agentic coding assistants (primarily Claude Code), reviewing and validating AI-generated changes across advanced production codebases (under NDA).

Independent (Consulting) · AI & Automation Engineer

Sep 2022 – Jan 2024 · Remote

  • Reduced an enterprise client’s LLM spend by building cost guardrails (daily caps, cheap-prompt-first routing, context budgets) with no measured quality regression; the pattern became standard across all my later products.
  • Built production web-data extraction pipelines (retry, deduplication, fallback chains) and lead-scoring microservices for SME clients pivoting into AI integration.
  • Shipped a production multi-agent pipeline in early 2023 (RAG retrieval plus tool-calling orchestration with hand-rolled JSON-mode prompting and retries) before mainstream agent frameworks existed.

Independent · E-Commerce Engineering Consultant

Mar 2021 – Aug 2022 · Egypt / Remote

  • Drove ~35% conversion lift for seller cohorts on Taager, a $6.4M-funded social-commerce platform scaling past 100+ active sellers, through funnel instrumentation and seller-side conversion work.
  • Replaced spreadsheet stock counts with a live inventory-sync engine across 4 warehouses for a textile manufacturer, including a QR-code loyalty MVP, delivered in 6 weeks.
  • Migrated 3 Shopify storefronts to custom Next.js with Stripe checkout, lifting Lighthouse scores from 38 to 92.

mBalloon · Co-Founder

Feb 2020 – Feb 2021 · Alexandria, Egypt / Remote

  • Onboarded 15+ MENA SMBs onto Shopify with paid acquisition during the COVID e-commerce boom; 3 niche stores sustained 2.5-3.2x ROAS for 6+ months.
  • Cut per-client setup time from 3 weeks to 5 days by building a reusable Shopify theme and funnel template.

Freelance · Front-End Developer

2019 – 2020 · Remote

  • Migrated a 60K-LOC jQuery codebase to React with Cypress E2E coverage on critical paths, cutting time-to-interactive from 3.5s to 2.1s with zero production breakage (additive migration, feature flags).

LibreFit · Founder

2017 – 2018 · Egypt

  • Built a smartphone computer-vision body-measurement product end to end (Xamarin client, OpenCV pipeline, server-side calibration) reaching ±1-2 cm accuracy; sold 2 contracts to MENA tailoring shops.
