Full-stack developer · Cairo, Egypt

I build web apps, SaaS and AI integrations that teams actually use.

I'm Ahmed Saad, a full-stack developer (Nuxt, Vue, TypeScript, Strapi, Supabase). Before code, I spent 16+ years running hotel operations, so I build around how teams really work.

Open to freelance projects and full-time roles

Shipped work, with the role I actually played.

Every project states my exact role. Nothing is presented as solo work unless it was.

    AI Integration

    Teams with a working web app who want AI features inside it, where they save real work.

    An AI feature built into your app around the task it replaces, then deployed and documented.
    • Models from OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude) or Google (Gemini), picked by testing them on your task.
    • Typically 2–4 weeks for one feature.
    AI provider usage fees: you pay the provider directly, on your own account.

    AI App Rescue

    Founders and teams whose AI-built or half-finished app is fragile, slow or leaking data, and needs to become safe to run in production.

    A 48-hour audit of the app's security, auth, database rules and performance, with a prioritized fix plan. Then, when you want it, a rescue sprint that takes the app from fragile demo to production.
    • The audit is a fixed price and is credited 100% to any rescue sprint.
    • Rescue sprints typically run one to two weeks.
    • 30 days of free bug fixes after the fix is delivered.
    AI provider usage fees, your server and domain costs, and new features beyond the rescue scope.
