Three things you'll remember, proven five ways.
Derived from real project data — each strength shows up across multiple shipped platforms, not a résumé checklist.
End-to-end marketplace platforms
Complete multi-sided marketplaces — storefront, mobile apps, vendor + admin dashboards, payments, and DevOps — not just a frontend.
You get a running business, not a prototype.
Backed by 3 projectsNative mobile + web, one backend
Flutter iOS/Android apps shipped alongside Next.js web surfaces against a single, shared API.
Reach every customer on every device — without paying three teams.
Backed by 3 projectsMulti-tenant SaaS, securely isolated
Postgres Row-Level Security and tenant scoping that wall off each client's data by design.
Sell one product safely to many customers.
Backed by 3 projectsReal-time & transactional integrity
Live tracking, tamper-proof ledgers, and idempotent money handling that hold up under concurrency.
Money and live state are handled correctly — provably, not hopefully.
Backed by 3 projectsProduction DevOps & performance
Dockerized, Nginx-fronted, CI/CD deployments with measured performance and SEO wins.
It stays up, deploys cleanly, and ranks.

Platforms that run real businesses.
Discovery → Design → Build → Ship & Support.
A small, senior team means less ceremony and more signal. Here's the path from first call to live product.
- 01
Discovery
We scope the users, success metrics, and constraints. A free 30-minute call to confirm fit and direction before anything is committed.
- 02
Design
Architecture, data model, and UI direction agreed up front — so the build has no surprises and every decision has a reason.
- 03
Build
Iterative delivery with weekly previews. You see real, working software as it grows — not a black box that opens at the end.
- 04
Ship & support
Production deploy, monitoring, and a clean handover, plus an agreed support window so launch day isn't the end of the road.
What clients say about the work
Engagements are confidential, so quotes are attributed by role and sector — but every one maps to a real project and the results in its case study.
We didn't get a prototype — we got a running business. Storefront, the supplier and rider apps, the admin dashboard, payments, live tracking: one backend behind all of it, in Arabic and English from day one. It launched and it stayed up.

The order routing and the financial ledger are what sold us. Every payout and commission is traceable end to end, and an order automatically splits to the right suppliers. For a B2B platform handling other people's money, that trust is everything.
Operations lead
B2B elevator spare-parts marketplace · Egypt
Our teachers work in classrooms with no reliable internet, so an offline-first app wasn't a nice-to-have — it was the whole product. It runs the entire tutoring business on the device and syncs when it can. Parents finally see progress in real time.

Search traffic was the goal and the SEO work delivered — crawl coverage jumped several-fold and the AI flyer pipeline cut our content costs sharply. We're reaching shoppers across the Kingdom on web and mobile from one platform.

What you can hire me to build.
Three offerings, each mapped to a strength backed by real shipped platforms — not a generic service menu.

- Storefront + vendor + admin surfaces
- Payments, RFQ flows, order routing

Native mobile + web
Flutter iOS/Android apps and Next.js web on one shared backend — every customer reached without paying three teams.

- Flutter + Next.js
- Shared auth & data model
Multi-tenant SaaS
Subscription products with Postgres Row-Level Security and tenant isolation — sell once, serve many, safely.
- Row-Level Security
- Billing & plan gating
- Offline-first where it matters
Questions, answered straight.
Still unsure? Ask the assistant in the corner, or message on WhatsApp.
Mahmoud Makhlouf — a senior full-stack engineer — handles the engineering directly, using modern tooling and AI for leverage. You get senior judgment on every line instead of work handed down to juniors.
End-to-end product builds: multi-sided marketplaces, multi-tenant SaaS, native mobile + web platforms, and the real-time / transactional systems that sit underneath them. All bilingual (Arabic RTL + English) by default.
It depends on scope and surfaces — a fixed-scope MVP is a multi-week engagement, while a full marketplace or SaaS platform runs across several months. You get a written quote after the free discovery call, and budgets are discussed openly.
Mahmoud replies on WhatsApp within about 24 hours. The first step is a free 30-minute consultation to assess fit and outline an approach.
Primarily Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the wider MENA region — remote worldwide. Work is delivered in English and Arabic, with full RTL support across every surface.
Yes. Every metric on this site comes from the actual project case studies. Client names are kept confidential unless a client has agreed to be referenced.
