What I ship

Mobile · 0→1

React Native apps that feel native on the device.

From the first onboarding screen to App Store & Play Store release , TypeScript, Expo, native modules where it counts, OTA updates so you can ship on a Tuesday.

  • iOS
  • Android
  • Expo EAS
  • Push & Deep links
Applied AI

LLM features wired into real workflows.

RAG pipelines, structured outputs, evals , built into the product, not bolted on the side.

  • Anthropic
  • OpenAI
  • Embeddings
Cloud · DX

AWS that doesn't fight you.

Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, IaC , and CI/CD that takes a commit to production without ceremony.

  • Terraform
  • Actions
  • Observability
Design → Code

Figma frames into shipped UI in days, not sprints.

One engineer who can read a design file, push back where it matters, and turn it into the real, accessible, fast thing.

  • Motion

How a build goes

  1. 01

    Frame the problem

    One call, then a written brief. We agree on the smallest thing worth shipping and what success looks like before any code.

    Week 0
  2. 02

    Design the surface

    Figma frames, copy passes, and the unglamorous edge cases. Done so the build is mostly typing, not deciding.

    Week 1
  3. 03

    Build in the open

    Daily commits, weekly demos, a staging URL you can poke at. No mystery, no big reveal.

    Weeks 2–N
  4. 04

    Ship & hand off

    Production deploy, monitoring, a runbook, and a build your team can keep extending after I'm gone.

About

I'm Abdel, a full-stack engineer working across product, AI, and infrastructure. The last years I've been shipping React Native and web apps; the last two, folding LLMs and RAG into those apps where it changes how people use them.

I work best with teams who care about craft and want one engineer who can take a thing from a Figma frame to a Docker container in the same week , no hand-offs, no theatre.
