Hi, I'mAli Magdy
I enhance companies' workflows and introduce tailored solutions based on unique business needs.
About Me
I am a Fresh Computer Science graduate from Ain Shams University with 2 years of experience in software engineering and backend development.
I have experience building backend systems for international companies, including developing a production social media platform for a Saudi Arabia-based company and working remotely with U.S.-based AI companies.
I have hands-on experience with Node.js, Express.js, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, Prisma ORM, Supabase, Socket.IO. I have designed and implemented advanced backend features such as a Reddit-style nested commenting system using tree-based data modeling, real-time notification systems, authentication flows, and optimized database structures.
One of my key projects is a Ticketmaster-style event ticketing platform, where I designed a real-time seat reservation system using Redis locks and Socket.IO to handle concurrent bookings and prevent race conditions.
I am always open to backend engineering opportunities, collaborations, and challenging projects where I can continue growing and delivering impactful software solutions.
