Hi, I'm Abdulrahman Magdy.I build software systems and write about how they work.
I'm a senior software engineer in Cairo, Egypt, currently at Prepit. Most of my work sits on the backend: microservices, partner and POS integrations, queues, PostgreSQL, and the AWS and Kubernetes infrastructure underneath them. I care about what happens after the code ships: reliability, observability, and faster feedback through better tooling and CI/CD.
Lately I've been working on AI-assisted development and open-source developer tools. This site is where I write down what I learn.
