About Me
I'm a web developer specializing in backend development, building a solid foundation since 2018. Starting with front-end fundamentals, I transitioned to full-stack development using Laravel to create scalable applications.
My practical experience comes from diverse freelance projects and professional roles, emphasizing robust backend logic, API development (RESTful & WebSocket), and database management. I'm adept at managing cloud infrastructure, particularly on DigitalOcean, including server setup, deployment, and maintenance.
Currently pursuing my Bachelor's in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence at Helwan University, I continuously seek to expand my skillset and contribute effectively to challenging projects.
