I'm Hamada Mohamed Emam, a results-oriented backend engineer specializing in PHP and Laravel. I design and implement reliable, secure, and scalable backend systems that power web and mobile applications. My focus is on building API-driven architectures that streamline business processes, enhance performance, and ensure data consistency across distributed systems. With a passion for problem solving, I bring both technical precision and business awareness to every project I develop.

Professional Summary

I have hands-on experience in developing modern backend solutions using Laravel, PHP, GraphQL, REST APIs, and WebSockets. I’ve worked on a variety of projects, from shipping and logistics systems to HR management, e-commerce, subscription automation, and learning management platforms. My expertise includes architecting complex systems, managing deployments, and integrating external APIs and services such as Shopify, Egyptian E-Invoicing, Cloudflare, Firebase, and WhatsApp Business APIs.

I take pride in crafting clean, maintainable code following SOLID principles and software design patterns. Whether leading small teams or working individually, I value collaboration, adaptability, and continuous improvement. My mission is to transform real-world business needs into efficient digital products.

Experience Highlights

At Accurate (2022–present), I advanced from intern to full-time backend developer. I rebuilt a legacy ERP shipping module serving over 160 companies and 100,000+ users, processing more than 1,000 transactions per second. I implemented real-time event handling with Socket.IO and Node.js servers, developed API integrations with Shopify and the Egyptian Tax Authority, and optimized performance using Redis caching and efficient database indexing.

I also contributed to several systems including a fingerprint-based HRMS, a subscription management platform for rental automation, a document-signing desktop app for e-invoices, and an advanced shipping API plugin distributed via Packagist. My code powers automation, financial accuracy, and data exchange across multiple business domains.

As a remote backend engineer for LearnG in Saudi Arabia, I developed a multi-tenant Learning Management System (LMS) that enables organizations to manage courses and bundles efficiently. I implemented secure client isolation, invitation flows, and custom learning environments for corporate clients.

In freelance work, I deliver full-stack Laravel and PHP solutions to businesses around the world. My projects include automation of subscription payments, real-time dashboards, web APIs, and integrations with external services. I also manage VPS deployments, Nginx/Apache servers, SSL, and DNS setups to ensure stable and secure hosting environments.
