Ownership from spec to launch
From the first meeting to launch, one person is accountable for the specification, the build and how the pieces fit.
About
One engineer, accountable from the first call to launch.
I'm Badr Aldeen Akbik, a software engineer. I turn business requirements into the systems a business runs on: specification, architecture, build, admin dashboard and launch.

Why I work this way
The third option between an agency and a freelancer.
Most businesses that need a platform choose between an agency, where the project passes through layers of people, and a freelancer who delivers one piece and leaves.
I offer a third option: the discipline of a software company, the directness of a freelancer, and the Gulf context, in one accountable engineer.
I've spent 2+ years building multi-tenant SaaS, accounting reports and APIs, and most recently led Ashal, a Saudi marketplace, from specification to delivery.
What I stand for
Three rules every project follows.
Built for real operations
Real money, Gulf rules and the season's peak, as on the Hajj workforce platform: 50,000+ applications in one season.
Transparent engineering
You always know what is being built, why, and where it stands.
Experience
Where the experience comes from.
Ashal
Saudi car care marketplace, led end to end.

Server-side architecture, databases, APIs and technical documentation for business applications, in Laravel and Express.js, including the Hajj workforce platform for the 1446 season.

RemoStart

Tools
The stack is proof, not the headline.
I choose tools that are proven, well documented and easy for the next developer to pick up. These are the ones I ship with.
Arabic is my native language and I work in English at C1 level, so documents, calls and interfaces work in both.
