About me
I'm Mohamed Eladly; people who know me call me Shawky. I'm a software engineer working from Giza, Egypt, and most of my clients are companies in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf.
I taught myself to code at a young age. Later I completed the ALX Software Engineering program, a long, project-based program that about 700 of the 19,000 who started finished. I've freelanced since 2024, and I hold the Professional Freelancer card from ITIDA, Egypt's Information Technology Industry Development Agency.
I build the systems that replace WhatsApp groups and Excel files: a dashboard for management, an app for the field team, and links to the platforms the company already pays for. The project closest to my heart is an operations system for a mobile car-wash company, because it helps them in their work every day.
I show you a working prototype before the contract because a document alone isn't enough. Once you see your system on a screen, the right questions come up early, and both sides know what will be delivered before anyone pays.
What to expect from me
- Everything agreed is written down: specs, decisions, approvals.
- If your project is a good fit, you see your system before you sign, free of charge.
- An offer priced item by item, and you can drop any item.
- The code and accounts are in your company's name from day one.
- Releases you test yourselves before paying for them.
- I'll tell you honestly when a ready-made tool is enough.
What I don't do
- I don't oversell.
- I don't build what you don't need.
- I don't hide behind a team you'll never meet.
The tools I actually use
- Web and dashboardsNext.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS
- MobileReact Native (Expo), Flutter
- Servers and dataNode.js, PostgreSQL, Redis, BullMQ, Python
- Hosting and testingDocker, Playwright
- Automation and integrationsn8n, REST APIs, webhooks
Tell me about one process
If a process in your company still runs on spreadsheets and group chats, tell me about it. I'll tell you honestly whether a custom system is worth it.
