Backend & systems engineer — I ship APIs, process tooling, and low-level Linux software that other people actually run.

CS graduate, Cairo University · Cairo, Egypt

Open to backend, systems, and infrastructure roles.

Project	What it does	Stack
pwm	From-scratch X11 window manager (a love letter to dwm). Tiling and floating, multi-monitor workspaces, sticky clients per screen, snapping, fullscreen, center-master layout, mouse + keyboard control, customizable status bar.	C++ · X11 · Linux
phiocker	Linux container runtime: pull OCI images, unpack a rootfs, then run with UTS/PID/mount/net namespaces, cgroup v2 CPU/memory/PID limits, bridge + NAT, PTY attach, and a Unix-socket daemon.	Go · Linux · cgroups
exeio	Process supervisor over a REST API — start/stop/restart, stream logs, send stdin, auto-restart with exponential backoff, API-key auth, periodic jobs. Built so Planitly could run AI jobs, schedulers, and databases on Azure without SSH.	Rust · REST · DevOps
logio	Desktop log manager that surfaces system-wide logs in one UI instead of grepping scattered files.	Tauri · React
crafty	Pulls Archcraft packages onto other distros so I can reuse that repo outside Archcraft.	Rust · Arch

Project	What it does	Stack
cppi	Header-only C++17 HTTP server and client. Express-style routes and middleware, thread pool, streaming for large files, JSON (nlohmann), static files, file upload/download, graceful Ctrl+C shutdown. Zero-config: a working server in a few lines.	C++17 · HTTP
fileio	Terminal file manager: navigate, copy/cut/paste, search, create/rename/delete, open in the default app or a shell, and persistent pins for directories you jump to often.	Rust · TUI
bbook	Terminal text editor with ncurses — create, open, edit, and save files in a minimal TUI.	C++ · ncurses
psio	Codeforces test runner: fetch a problem, scaffold from a template, compile, pipe official tests, report pass/fail. Cut manual case-checking time by about 70%. Uses libcurl, gumbo, threads, and nlohmann/json.	C++17 · curl
launchio	Desktop app launcher in Rust. Bind it to a WM/DE hotkey and start programs without leaving the keyboard.	Rust · Linux
compy	C++ language parser and Swing IDE on ANTLR 3: live syntax highlighting (Dracula, Monokai, Nord, …), AST generation, Graphviz tree view, find-in-file, error reporting. Cross-platform JAR.	Java · ANTLR 3
mdio	Minimal markdown viewer/editor with Vim keybindings and almost no chrome.	Tauri · JS

Project	What it does	Stack
Planitly	AI-powered knowledge system: notes, tasks, and ideas as connected entities. I designed the backend (subjects, components, data transfers, schedules) and took it from a graduation project to a product on Azure. Companion planitly_ChatBot answers questions about the workspace.	Python · REST · Azure
passGo	Full-stack password manager: AES-256-GCM vault, Argon2id master-key derivation, Supabase auth (signup, verify, reset, JWT), rate limits and ownership checks, Gio UI for desktop, web/WASM, Android, and iOS. Docker + GitHub Actions builds.	Go · Gin · MongoDB · Gio
Novel Nest team of 5	E-commerce bookstore. I worked in a five-person team; the app uses Firebase authentication and storage.	React Native · Firebase

Project	What it does	Stack
The Hive	Real-time hex-grid ecosystem: neural-net agents compete and cooperate. Dual brain — MotherBrain for strategy, CreatureBrain for local behavior — plus genetic algorithms and mutation. Multiprocessing for the sim loop.	Python · NumPy · Pygame
Catch the Flag	Capture-the-flag game written from scratch as a university graphics project — rendering, input, and game logic with no engine.	Java · graphics
file-backed PQ	Priority queue stored on disk: heap operations with file-backed memory so large datasets don’t have to live entirely in RAM.	Python
