About Me

Backend developer with 4+ years building Laravel systems for the Saudi market. Most of my work sits where systems meet each other — national identity (Nafath), payment gateways (ClickPay), and SMS providers integrated into production platforms. Built a full automotive ERP covering purchasing, inventory and accounting entries. Comfortable across the stack from Docker and CI/CD to query optimization and API design.
