About · Alexandria, Egypt

Product-minded engineer. Painter on the side.

I'm Ahmed, known online as Sanfor. For about five years I've built the backend side of businesses: APIs, automation, telephony and payments, the systems that quietly do the work so people don't have to.

How I got here

From Fiverr gigs to systems that run whole businesses.

I started freelancing on Fiverr, building custom software and automation for more than ten international clients, and kept a 5-star rating doing it.

Then I joined Skylimit LLC, a Sacramento company, as a remote full-stack engineer. I built their lead-generation and loan platform from scratch: calls, SMS and IVR through Twilio and Plivo, payments through Stripe, data cleaning and reporting. It processed over 5.4 million leads and 53,000 orders.

Today I take on client work in backend, automation and AI integration, and I'm building Zomzam, my own product. I'm also finishing a Business Information Systems degree at Alexandria University.
