Skills & Expertise

I'm a Backend Systems Engineer with a deep focus on PHP / Laravel, SaaS architecture, and API-first design. Over 17 years I've shipped production software across Malaysia, UAE, Pakistan, and the wider GCC region.

My sweet spot is multi-tenant SaaS platforms that are bilingual (Arabic RTL), compliance-aware, and engineered to scale. From e-commerce backends powering thousands of SKUs to enterprise RegTech and cloud management platforms.

Alongside my day job, I'm independently building 4 SaaS products targeting the GCC market β€” Maktab, Iltizam, CloudHaris, and LexBridge. All Arabic RTL, multi-company, enterprise-grade β€” fully designed and developed by me.
