Ahmed Farid — Senior Software Engineer

What I do · 01

I'm a senior engineer who treats a product like a system — not a stack of features. I architect the spine, ship the surface, and stay accountable when it has to scale.

/01
Senior, end-to-end.
Architecture, backend, web, mobile and infra — one engineer who can hold the whole rope.
/02
Multi-tenant by default.
Tenant isolation, role boundaries, billing-aware data — I build platforms, not single-purpose apps.
/03
Ship to production, then defend it.
I don't disappear at v1. Observability, deploy pipelines, and on-call hygiene come standard.
/04
Clear with non-technical clients.
Founders and ops teams shouldn't need an interpreter to work with their engineer. I write decisions down.

Profile

I'm Ahmed Farid — a senior engineer who ships systems end to end.

Cairo-based, open to relocation. Over the last five years I've built multi-tenant SaaS platforms, real-time auction and booking systems, AI-assisted tools, and a fleet of mobile apps shipped to production across the Gulf, the US, and the UK.

I work the whole stack — Laravel, Next.js, FastAPI, Flutter, AWS — and I'm comfortable owning a product from the first schema decision to the App Store submission and the on-call rotation after launch. I learn fast and adapt to whatever stack the job actually needs.

Yelo Sale

Software Engineer · Gulf market (KSA)

B2B2C vehicle auction & sales platform — real-time live bidding across web and mobile.

Laravel 11Next.js 14FlutterSocket.IOMySQLRedis

Admin B2B B2C Google Play App Store

sales.iyelo.comOpen

Problem

Vehicle remarketing in the Gulf ran on opaque offline processes — fleet owners, dealerships, and buyers had no transparent, real-time way to list, bid, and settle.

Approach

A transparent digital auction house spanning web and mobile: fleet owners list cars and lots, customers compete in real-time live auctions with automatic proxy bidding, then reserve and pay online — backed by an ERP-synced invoicing pipeline and a full inventory state machine from listing to delivery.

Impact

→ Real-time WebSocket live bidding + proxy auto-bid→ Amazon Payfort payments · GoInfinito OTP · FCM push→ Arabic/English i18n with full RTL

The problem

Vehicle remarketing in the Gulf ran on offline, opaque channels — fleet owners and dealerships moved inventory through closed deals with no transparency, no real-time competition, and invoicing reconciled by hand against an enterprise ERP. The goal: replace it with a transparent, real-time digital auction house across web and mobile, where any verified bidder could compete live — without losing a single bid to a race condition.

The hard part

Live auctions are unforgiving. When dozens of bidders hammer the same lot in the final seconds, the system has to be the single source of truth: every bid ordered correctly, no lost updates, no two “winners,” proxy auto-bids resolved instantly — reflected on web and mobile in real time, in Arabic and English (RTL), and kept in lockstep with a Microsoft Dynamics 365 ERP.

The architecture

One contract, three clientsAn Nx monorepo with a Laravel 11 API serving a Next.js 14 web app and a Flutter (BLoC) mobile app, so web, iOS, and Android share the same types and behavior.
Server-authoritative real-time biddingLive bid state in Redis with atomic increments; a Socket.IO/Node layer broadcasts to every watcher. The server, not the client, decides bid order — eliminating race conditions and lost bids under load. <200ms bid latency end to end.
Proxy auto-biddingBidders set a max ceiling; the engine auto-counters rivals up to it, server-side, so they win at the lowest necessary price.
Inventory as a state machineEvery lot moves through listed → live auction → reserved → paid → delivered, with admin governance at each step.
Three-tier accessAdmin / Company / Customer, each behind its own JWT guard (multi-guard RBAC).
Enterprise sync & paymentsTwo-way Dynamics 365 ERP sync for customers, vehicles & invoices; Amazon Payfort payments; GoInfinito OTP + KYC bidder authorization; FCM push; PDF/QR invoices; AWS S3.

The outcome

A transparent, real-time auction house live on web, iOS, and Android (App Store + Google Play).
Real-time live bidding at <200ms latency, with proxy auto-bidding and zero lost-bid race conditions.
Offline, opaque remarketing replaced by a digital pipeline from listing to delivery, with ERP-synced invoicing.
Shipped on trunk-based alpha/beta/prod (Docker, GitHub Actions CI/CD, AWS).

Problem

City officials planning emission reductions were stuck with scattered spreadsheets and consultant reports — no way to discover interventions, match funding, and model CO₂ impact in one place.

Approach

An AI-assisted workspace that searches regulations, grants, and intervention catalogs in seconds, scores grant eligibility, and models the cost, CO₂ impact, and feasibility of full emission-reduction pathways — with staged bulk emissions import and validation before data hits the books.

Problem

Franchise operators and SMBs managing locations across Google, Meta, and X had reviews, updates, and engagement scattered across separate provider dashboards.

Approach

Resellers onboard business clients as tenants, sync storefronts to Google My Business via OAuth, reply to reviews with AI-suggested responses, publish promo posts across many locations at once, and track per-location metrics — all from one dashboard, scaling from one SMB to hundreds of storefronts.

Recovery Advisers

Senior Software Engineer · Dubai, UAE

Debt-recovery & case management — internal app + multi-tenant client portal, webhook-synced.

Laravel 13Next.js 15MySQLOctaneReverb

Website App Portal Client Self-Service

recoveryadvisers.comOpen

Problem

Recovery operations spanned case managers, finance, and HR internally, plus creditors and law firms externally — with no real-time, secure way to keep clients in sync without polling.

Approach

An internal main app orchestrates the full recovery lifecycle (leads → cases → mandates → litigation → recoveries → invoices), while a multi-tenant client portal gives each tenant secure read-only visibility — the two kept in sync through a stateless webhook push architecture so clients see updates in near real-time.

Problem

Booking vetted home technicians in Egypt meant phone calls and no transparency — no live tracking, no in-app payment, no way to compare provider bids.

Approach

Customers browse and book vetted technicians or post a custom job for provider bids, then track the assigned technician live on a map, chat in real time, pay by cash/card/wallet, and rate the work — while providers manage jobs, availability, and earnings from their own app and admins oversee the catalog from the web panel.

RevealSite

Software Engineer · US pharmacy fleet

The company & platform behind 12+ branded pharmacy apps and storefronts on one white-label foundation.

FlutterReactDjangoCeleryPostgreSQL

revealsite.com

Problem

A dozen-plus independent US & UK pharmacies each needed branded patient apps and websites — but couldn't justify a separate engineering track per pharmacy.

Approach

A multi-tenant, white-label engagement platform: a new pharmacy spins up by client_id with its own branding, hours, and storefront. Patients get prescription refills, transfers, appointment booking, medication reminders, and two-way messaging — each request auto-routed to the pharmacy by fax & email via Celery. I built and shipped the patient apps (Flutter) and pharmacy sites (React) on this one shared platform.

Architecture thinking · 08

How I make technical decisions.

Four principles I apply across every project. They're not laws — they're priors I'm willing to break with evidence.

/ i

Boundaries before features

I draw the seams in the system before writing the screens. Tenant, role, and billing live as first-class concepts — not afterthoughts.

/ ii

Optimize for the team that ships v2

Clean read paths, audited writes, and migrations someone else can run at 2am without paging me. Code is for humans.

/ iii

Cache where it earns its keep

Premature caching is just a bug with a delay. Profile, find the read path that hurts, then cache it — and invalidate it on purpose.

/ iv

Boring choices, sharp edges

Laravel and Postgres aren't exciting. They're predictable, which is the only excitement a production system should give you.

How I work · 11

Four steps, then we ship.

My process isn't proprietary — it's just disciplined. Same shape whether the engagement is six weeks or six months.

01

Listen first

I want the business problem before the tech stack. Two calls, a shared doc, and a clear definition of done before code.

02

Map the seams

Domain model, surface area, deploy topology. Decisions you can't undo cheaply get locked down here.

03

Ship in slices

End-to-end vertical slices, deployed early, behind feature flags. You see real software inside two weeks, not a Gantt chart.

04

Hand it over

Docs, runbooks, and a clean README. Whether your team takes it from v2 or I stay on retainer — handoff is part of the work.

FAQ · 17

The questions everyone asks.

If yours isn't here, ask it directly — bottom of the page.

Most start as a 4–8 week scoped build — a defined slice with a clear deliverable. From there it usually becomes ongoing retainer or a longer contract. I prefer fixed-scope phases over hourly drift.

Both. I'm full-time at Recovery Advisers (remote, Dubai) and I take on a small number of freelance engagements per quarter. If you're hiring full-time, I'm open to conversations for the right team.

UAE, Saudi Arabia, the United States, and Egypt. I run on Cairo time but overlap comfortably with GCC, EU, and US East / Central business hours.

Yes — that's where I'm strongest. Architecture, schema, deploy, the first slice in production. I can stay through scale or hand it off cleanly.

Yes — I've shipped 12+ Flutter apps to App Store and Play Store. But I usually work better when I own both ends of the API contract.

Depends on scope, region, and whether you need senior architecture or implementation hands. I'll give you a flat phase quote, not an hourly bill, after a 30-minute scoping call.
