Ahmed Y.
Full-Stack MERN Developer | Scalable REST APIs & Integrations
Need a backend that won't fall apart when your app grows? That's what I build. I'm a backend engineer who designs and ships fast, secure, scalable APIs with NodeJS — the kind of foundation you can build a real business on, not a prototype you'll have to rewrite in six months. Whether you're a founder with an idea or a team that needs senior backend firepower, I handle the hard part: clean architecture, solid databases, authentication, payments, real-time features, and documentation your frontend team will actually thank you for. A few things I've built: I engineered backend systems for live products across travel, real estate, and automotive — including VBooking, one of the Middle East's largest AI-powered travel platforms, where I helped take a stalled project to production. What I do: ✅ Custom REST APIs with NodeJS & Express ✅ Database design — MongoDB, PostgreSQL & Prisma ✅ Secure authentication & role-based access (JWT) ✅ Stripe & third-party API integrations ✅ Real-time features with Socket IO (chat, notifications, live updates) ✅ Cloud deployment & setup on AWS ✅ Clean, documented, production-ready code — always yours, no lock-in How I work: I start by understanding your business and your goals — not just your feature list. I'll tell you honestly what's the right approach (and what isn't), keep you updated as I build, and deliver something tested, documented, and ready to scale. I treat your project like I own it. You bring the idea or the problem. I'll handle the engineering and explain everything clearly along the way — technical background not required on your end. Let's talk. Send me a message about what you're building and I'll come back with a clear recommendation, even before we start.
