Open to projects and full-time roles

I build web products that hold up in production.

Full-stack engineer in Cairo, currently at The POST. I build web products in Arabic and English — live-data platforms, subscription apps, internal dashboards.

Featured work

Three projects, one decision each.

The call that mattered most in each. The problem, the build and the rest of the story are a click away.

EG-Pricey

Live currency, gold and fuel prices for Egypt

Key decision

Prices push over WebSockets instead of polling, so a tab left open all morning stays correct without hammering the API. A stale price is worse than no price, so the interface announces a reconnect rather than quietly showing an old number.

XTranslator

A subscription translation platform, sold worldwide

  4. 04Lemon SqueezyMerchant of record: subscriptions, VAT, cross-border compliance
How a request travels. The highlighted stages are bought, not rebuilt.
Key decision

Billing runs through Lemon Squeezy as merchant of record, so VAT and cross-border compliance are bought rather than rebuilt badly. Traffic sits behind Cloudflare for rate limiting and bot filtering, which keeps the origin small.

TileGreen

Turning plastic waste into building materials

Key decision

English and Arabic share one layout system instead of two templates, so the RTL site is the same site and not a mirrored copy that drifts. Motion paces the story down the page and stops there.

How I work

Three things I actually believe.

01

Correct beats clever.

A price that has silently gone stale is worse than no price at all. I would rather spend the week on the failure cases than on the animation.

↳ EG-Pricey · live data

02

Arabic is not a translation.

RTL changes layout, typography and numerals, not just text direction. I build both directions from one system so neither is the afterthought.

03

Buy the hard parts.

Tax, compliance and bot traffic are solved problems owned by other people. I reach for a merchant of record and an edge proxy before writing my own.

About

Seven products shipped from Cairo.

I’m Youseef. I build web products end to end — currently with The POST, and independently for clients who need something shipped properly rather than quickly.

Most of the work is live-data platforms, subscription products and internal dashboards. Angular and Node by default; Django and Postgres when the data model earns it.

I care about the parts people actually feel: first load, forms that don’t lose your work, and Arabic that behaves like a first language instead of a mirrored afterthought.
