Codebases should get healthier as products grow.

My strongest fit is PHP/Laravel backend engineering, with Laravel/Vue full-stack delivery, API integrations, database optimization, Linux/Docker operations, and technical leadership. Career interests include backend software engineering, Laravel development, product and SaaS engineering, API integration, and AI-integrated backend work; these describe positioning, not additional employment titles. I maintain open-source and personal tools and work on legacy systems as well as new products. I use ChatGPT, Claude, coding agents, and MCP-assisted workflows for investigation, refactoring, tests, documentation, review, and architecture, with human validation before production. Languages: Arabic — native; English — C1, self-reported rather than an established IELTS result; French — A1/basic. Java, C#/.NET, Python, RabbitMQ, and Spring Boot are familiarity areas; Rust remains exploration, not a production-experience claim.
