Amin Mahmoud Software Engineer

About

Amin Mahmoud

I am a backend-focused full-stack engineer based in Cairo. For seven years I have designed APIs, tuned databases, and shipped Laravel, Node.js, Vue, and Go systems across e-commerce, education, and SaaS. I like owning a feature from schema to deployment: the data model, the auth story, the queue, the cache, and the interface people actually use. I currently work as a Senior Software Engineer at Squarement, and I build my own products — including Runitee, a multi-tenant retail and restaurant platform, and TechyWorks, a privacy-first document toolkit.

How I work

I use AI coding agents daily — Cursor and Claude Code — to scaffold, refactor, and review without lowering the bar on the code that ships. The judgment stays mine: schema, performance, and the production path.
