About
I'm a mobile engineer based in Cairo, focused mostly on React Native. My work is usually end-to-end: shape the app structure, build the screens and integrations, get it through the stores, then handle the production issues that show up after launch.
Most of what I ship is Arabic-first, so RTL and bidirectional text are in the plan from day one. I also take over apps other teams built, like Dynamo Car and Al-Amthal, and make them stable without breaking what users rely on.

Experience
In most of these roles I was the only mobile engineer, so the architecture, the releases, and the production bugs were mine.

Mobile Software Engineer
Softoio LLC
Sole mobile engineer. I own and maintain all 13 of Softoio's live apps and 7 more in development or awaiting release. I built 10 of them myself; the rest I inherited or delivered by directing contract engineers.
- Jeyad, the Gulf equestrian super-app: realtime auctions, championships, a 9M+ horse database, a social feed, chat, and Agora live streaming, in 8 languages with dark and light themes and layouts that adapt from small phones to tablets. ~5,000 users in 10 countries, 595K+ logged interactions.
- Built Jeyad's auctions (Veriff KYC, deposits, live bids synced with on-site bids, e-signature contracts) and its championship engine (multi-criteria judging, fantasy-style predictions).
- Shipped Jeyad TV on tvOS (HLS through react-native-video) and Android TV (native Agora), and fixed Fabric interop on the way.
- Built Podium alone for Algarawi Group: Arabic-first fashion commerce on a white-label monorepo, with one shared core and a thin native shell per brand. ~10K downloads in the two months after its August 2026 launch; two more brands are built and awaiting release.
- Moved Jeyad, Neyaq (camels), and Qarnas (falcons) from three repos into one monorepo on the Podium model. Each app keeps its own brand and backend, and all three ship from it as regular store updates.
- Built HM-Task, GPS time tracking for German facilities staff: three roles, six languages, an offline sync queue with idempotency keys, and a server-driven state machine.
- Delivered Riya Shop KSA, multi-brand Saudi e-commerce with payments. ~10,000 users, my largest app by user count.
- Directed 5 contract engineers through release and mentored one into a permanent role. Took over externally built apps (Dynamo Car, Al-Amthal), rebranded them, and made them stable.
- 100+ store releases, OTA updates, and hotfixes, on a build and signing pipeline I automated with GitHub Actions and Expo EAS.

Where I am useful
The parts of mobile work I am usually trusted with after the first tickets.
Architecture
Feature structure, navigation, state boundaries, and API flow that other developers can understand later.
Performance
Finding wasted renders, slow image lists, oversized payloads, and the small delays users notice.
Releases
Builds, store metadata, review rejections, and OTA fixes. 100+ releases so far.
Integrations
REST APIs, Firebase, Pusher realtime, payments, push notifications, and deep links.
Internationalization
Arabic-first interfaces, RTL/LTR layout, and BiDi text where mentions, links, and English tech terms stay readable.
Production debugging
Following crashes, store rejections, device-only bugs, and reports that start with 'it only happens for one user.'
