Abdallah SabriSenior Software Engineer & Founding Engineer

I've founded two SaaS products, and as a founding engineer at Safarway I lived the full journey from day zero to a platform serving 1M+ users, building fast, making smart technical bets, and owning outcomes, not just writing code.

I love the journey that's still taking shape, when the picture isn't fully clear, the team is small, and every decision carries weight. I don't just write code, I contribute to building the product, the team, and the technical foundation from the ground up. I'm now looking for the next challenge with a team that has real ambition and is looking for someone to build alongside them and own the outcome fully.

About Me

Engineer. Founder. Builder.

I'm Abdallah Sabri, a Senior Full-Stack Engineer with over 15 years of experience building web systems, leading engineering teams, and turning complex problems into scalable, maintainable software.

My career has spanned government portals, travel tech, civic analytics, and healthcare SaaS. I've worked inside large enterprise environments and scrappy startup teams, and I've been on both sides of the table as an engineer and as a founder.

In late 2024, I launched Clincura, an AI-powered clinic management SaaS, and in May 2026, I launched Level Feedback, a reputation management platform for small businesses. Building these products from zero taught me something no job ever did: how to talk directly to users, understand what they actually need, and turn that into software that solves a real problem.

I'm based in Ramallah, Palestine, and actively looking for remote opportunities or roles that would allow me to relocate, particularly in Europe.

When I'm not building software, I'm investing in people. I currently serve as President of Afaq Toastmasters Club, helping others grow their communication and leadership skills. I also volunteer as Secretary and Board Member of Silwad Students Association, managing administrative operations, supporting university community initiatives, and making sure student voices are heard and acted upon.

What I Do

How I can help

Whether you need an engineering partner to build your backend from scratch, a consultant to fix a performance problem, or a technical leader to help scale your team — I've done it before and can do it for you.

Backend Architecture & System Design

For startups and scale-ups who need their foundations to hold.

Designing distributed, cloud-native systems using Node.js, TypeScript, NestJS, and microservices. From API design to event-driven architecture — built to scale.

Performance Engineering

For teams where latency is costing them users and trust.

Deep-dive optimization of slow APIs, inefficient database queries, and bottlenecked services. I've cut API response times by 97% in production. I know where to look.

Cloud & DevOps (AWS)

For teams who want reliability without DevOps overhead.

Architecture and deployment on AWS: Lambda, S3, RDS, SQS, SNS, Cognito. Paired with CI/CD pipelines, Docker, and infrastructure that actually holds up under load.

Monolith to Microservices Migration

For teams stuck in legacy systems that are slowing them down.

Planning and executing migrations from monolithic codebases to modular, maintainable microservices — without breaking production or burning out the team.

Technical Leadership & Team Mentoring

For growing teams who need someone to set the standard.

Engineering process definition, code review culture, onboarding structures, and hands-on mentorship. I've led 5-person teams and grown juniors into confident engineers.

SaaS Product Consulting

For founders who are engineers, or engineers who are becoming founders.

Technical strategy, architecture decisions, stack selection, and build vs. buy tradeoffs. Grounded in real experience building two SaaS products from scratch.
