Engineering scalable backend systems that just work.

Backend Developer crafting .NET microservices across transportation, government, and finance — turning complex business logic into resilient APIs, clean data flows, and systems that quietly handle scale.

What I bring to your engineering team.

01

Backend Engineering

Production-grade APIs in ASP.NET Core with clean domains, sensible boundaries, and predictable latency. Codebases the next engineer can actually pick up.

02

Microservices & Architecture

From monoliths to event-driven services — I break problems into the right pieces, wire them with honest contracts, and keep the seams calm under real traffic.

03

Database & Performance

EF Core, SQL Server, Oracle — query tuning, indexing strategy, schema design that survives growth instead of fighting it. Measured wins, not folklore.

04

Cloud & DevOps

Dockerized services, CI/CD pipelines, Azure / AWS deployments with secure JWT and OAuth flows. Less ceremony, more shipping.

How I think about shipping software.

— I.

Boring code is good code.

Surprises belong in birthday parties, not production. The cleverness budget goes into architecture, not the loop.

— II.

If you can't measure it, you didn't fix it.

Latency, throughput, error budget — write the number down before and after. Folklore is not a metric.

— III.

Services are a tax on coordination.

Pay it deliberately. A single well-bounded monolith beats four microservices owned by nobody.

Systems I've built for the real world.

Portrait of Mohamed Bashir Zagazig, 2025

A backend engineer who quietly keeps the lights on.

I'm Mohamed, a backend developer based in Cairo with four years building real production systems for transportation, government, and finance. I care about the boring parts — clean APIs, sensible data models, observability — because that's what lets teams move fast without breaking things in the dark.

Currently, I work at i-Score, where I build .NET backend systems for the finance sector. Before that, I spent four years at TransIT, delivering +6 production backend projects across the transportation sector, with a focus on scalability, reliability, and operational stability. Earlier, I started my career through an AI internship at IBM.
