Stack & Skills

I'm a Backend Systems Engineer with deep expertise in PHP / Laravel, SaaS architecture, and API-first design. Over 17 years I've shipped production software across Malaysia, UAE, Pakistan, and the wider GCC region.

My sweet spot is multi-tenant SaaS platforms — bilingual (Arabic RTL), compliance-aware, and engineered to scale. From e-commerce backends powering thousands of SKUs to enterprise RegTech and cloud management platforms.

Alongside my day job, I'm independently building 4 SaaS products targeting the GCC market — Maktab, Iltizam, CloudHaris, and LexBridge. All Arabic RTL, multi-company, enterprise-grade — fully designed and developed by me.
