Illustrated portrait of Mohamed ElHawary

Operating style

Customer-first engineering is not a slogan for me.

Work around Expedia Canada, Vodafone UK, startups, and teaching shaped how I see software: users do not care about our architecture diagrams when the product breaks. Customer pressure, team pressure, and delivery pressure are part of the system.

01Before rewriting, I find the constraint.
02Before scaling, I check the business stage.
03Before splitting systems, I inspect team and release pressure.
04Before blaming tools, I review the decisions around them.
05Before shipping fast, I make sure we can keep shipping safely.

How I help

Build, rescue, harden, or lead. Pick the actual pressure.

Build

Turn an idea or working product into a real web, mobile, backend, or full-stack system.

Rescue

Audit the codebase, find the actual bottlenecks, refactor safely, and restore delivery confidence.

Harden

Take rushed or AI-assisted code and make it production-worthy with architecture, testing, and release discipline.

Lead

Set technical direction, make trade-offs, mentor the team, and keep delivery connected to the business.

Tooling

Tools, translated into decisions.

Frontend: React, Next.js, TypeScript, JavaScript
Backend: Python, FastAPI, Node.js, APIs
Data: PostgreSQL, database design, indexing, migrations
Mobile: Flutter, React Native
Architecture: CI/CD, modular systems, performance, scalable foundations
AI workflows: Codex, Claude, structured review, source-backed delivery, production hardening
