I build shape_1
production systems
shape_2 that scale.
Web platforms, APIs, ERP and AI automation — Node.js, Laravel, React and PostgreSQL, shipped end to end.
From discovery to production, one clear step at a time
A predictable delivery process with documented decisions
and verification at every gate.
We map the problem, users and constraints, then agree on scope, data model and success criteria before a line of code is written.
API contracts, database design and module boundaries — planned for the load you expect, with clean architecture and documented trade-offs.
Incremental delivery you can review: containerised builds, CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions and deployments to Linux servers you own.
Monitoring, performance tuning, security hardening and knowledge transfer — so your team can keep moving without me.
What I can build for you
Custom Web Platforms
Complete web applications built end to end — data model, API, interface, deployment. One engineer accountable from first sketch to production.
APIs & Backend Systems
REST and GraphQL APIs designed to be integrated against — versioned contracts, clean architecture, and reliability that holds under real traffic.
ERP & Multi-Tenant SaaS
Domain modelling for systems that outlive their first version — multi-tenancy, effective-dated records, and schemas that survive the rules changing.
AI Integration & Automation
LLM features and agentic workflows wired into the systems you already run — OpenAI, Claude and Gemini, n8n and Zapier, with humans still in control.
Real-Time & Streaming Systems
Live video, presence and collaboration on WebRTC and Socket.io — proven at 50+ concurrent users in a single session, with reconnection handled.

Seven years of shipping software people actually use
I started out teaching — training 500+ students in full-stack development — and that shaped how I build: documented decisions, readable codebases, and systems the next engineer can move in. Today I build e-commerce marketplaces, ERP platforms, LMS systems and real-time applications, and I operate the infrastructure they run on.

Built to scale, documented to last
Clean architecture, effective-dated data, field-level encryption where it matters, and decision logs your team can read months later.
Arabic & English, RTL-first
Bilingual products done properly — Arabic/RTL interfaces treated as first-class, not an afterthought bolted on at the end.
Questions clients ask before we start
Email contact@abdullahkhaled.com with the problem you are solving, your deadline, and any constraints you already know about. I reply personally and propose a short call. On that call we cover goals, users, existing systems and budget range. You then receive a written scope with deliverables, a timeline and a fixed price. Nothing is committed until you approve that document.
I do not publish hourly rates, because an hourly rate tells you nothing about what a system costs. I work in fixed-scope engagements: an agreed deliverable, an agreed timeline and an agreed price, so you carry none of the risk from my estimating. Cost depends on scope, integrations, and how much of an existing system has to be understood first. Send your requirements and you will get a quote to review.
It depends on scope, so I quote the timeline together with the scope instead of guessing on a call. Useful reference points: an architecture and codebase review runs about two weeks, and a build sprint that ships one working slice to production runs about four weeks. Larger platforms are delivered as a sequence of those sprints — at RB Agency that rhythm produced four client platforms in eight months.
You do. The source code, the database design and every artefact produced during the engagement belong to you, and full intellectual property transfers to you on final payment. The work lives in your repository from the first commit, not mine. There are no licence fees, no hosting lock-in and no hidden dependency on me — the whole point is that another engineer can pick it up.
Every engagement ends with a handover, not a disappearance. You receive deployment and rollback runbooks, architecture notes explaining the decisions behind the build, and a walkthrough session with your team. After that you can keep me on a monthly arrangement for maintenance, code review and new features, or take it fully in-house. I started out teaching, with 500+ students trained, so handover is written to be understood.
