About Mehdi
Software Engineer with 7+ years of experience designing, building, and optimizing web applications, with a strong focus on API integration, financial systems, and legacy code improvement.
Experienced in developing and integrating complex backend systems, including payment and accounting workflows (Stripe, QuickBooks, Sage), as well as aggregating multiple external APIs into unified platforms. I’ve consistently worked on improving system performance by refactoring legacy codebases, enhancing search and reporting capabilities, and building more maintainable architectures.
Skilled in designing RESTful APIs, handling third-party integrations, and delivering reliable backend solutions used in production environments—from booking systems to e-learning platforms supporting 1,000+ users.
Strong background in PHP (Laravel), MySQL, and Node.js, with the ability to work across the stack when needed. I focus on writing clean, maintainable code and solving real-world engineering problems, especially in systems that require scalability, reliability, and continuous improvement.
Familiar with AI-forward development practices, including AI tools and LLM-enhanced workflows in modern SaaS applications.
