Available for new builds · Cairo --:-- GMT+3

Built in Cairo.
Shipping everywhere.

I’m Adham, and I run live commerce systems out of Cairo. I build them, then I stay on and run them: the deploys, the payment rails, the DNS and the mail, the parts nobody sees. Prime Medical is the clearest example — I set that company up online end to end, and every change since has gone through me.

The question that usually decides a deal is whether I have already shipped the payment rails you are on. I have. HyperPay built from zero on CarMate, and Apple Pay carried through its full production certificate chain. Al Rajhi and Stripe on other builds.

I lead when the work needs it. At DEPI, the Ministry of Communications and IT’s national talent programme, I led six engineers through the React Frontend track and we finished 2nd nationwide. Right now I am building ImpressIV for a client: a photoreal 3D venue where advertisers walk the halls in their browser and book the actual walls, modelled in Blender from the real building.

How I got here

The order it happened in.

Cairo

Foundations

Computer Science and Engineering at university, and the rest from putting work in front of real users. What stuck was owning a build all the way to production instead of handing it over at the demo.

  • Concept to production, owned end to end.
  • Product outcomes and cost-aware architecture over tech for its own sake.

2024

First clients

Freelance builds, delivered end to end. Two of those clients took the work off the platform and negotiated a direct engagement instead, which is where the longer relationships started.

  • 6+ client builds across UX, features, API integration, and deployment.
  • Payment integrations shipped whole, reconciliation and refunds included.

NTI

AI, kept honest

Trained at the National Telecommunication Institute and shipped a movie genre classifier at 93% accuracy over 5,000+ records.

  • Owned preprocessing and the feature pipeline.
  • The rule since: AI only where it makes the product better.

2025

DEPI, 2nd in the React track

Selected for the Digital Egypt Pioneers Initiative, the Ministry of Communications and IT’s fully funded national talent programme. I led six engineers through the React Frontend track to a 2nd-place national ranking.

  • Team lead on SehaTalk: scope, architecture, and delivery across six engineers.
  • Shipped on Next.js (App Router) with Tailwind and Radix UI.

Dec 2025 — now

CarMate, taken over live

A Saudi car-care booking marketplace whose original developers moved on with the platform still live. I took over the codebase without a handover and shipped from there. The client has come back with new scope ever since.

  • HyperPay built from zero, Apple Pay carried through its production certificates.
  • Ratings, the booking lifecycle, and an admin quality view shipped in August 2026.

2026 — now

ImpressIV, a client build

Building a client’s 3D venue ad-booking platform, modelled in Blender from the real building.

  • Blender to GLB pipeline with 370 bookable ad surfaces across three halls.
  • Quote-based checkout and admin on Prisma and PostgreSQL.

Logbook

Numbers that survived contact with reality.

  • 1 system I still run today
  • 6 payment integrations shipped: EdfaPay, Tamara, HyperPay, Apple Pay, Al Rajhi, Stripe
  • 2nd nationwide in DEPI’s React track, leading six engineers
  • 6+ client builds delivered end to end
