Hi, I’m Abdullah Hafez, a Senior Backend / AI Full Stack Software Engineer with 9+ years of experience building scalable backend systems, cloud-native applications, and microservices. I design RESTful APIs, distributed systems, and high-performance services using Node.js, Python, and Java, with a strong background in AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines to ensure reliability, scalability, performance, and security. I’ve led end-to-end engineering initiatives including system design, architecture reviews, infrastructure automation, deployment, observability, and product monitoring. I also integrate AI-powered workflows using OpenAI APIs and vector databases, and I’ve built enterprise-grade, cloud-native architectures across AWS, GCP, and Kubernetes. I enjoy collaborating with product and engineering teams to deliver robust solutions.
