Fixed-scope engagements with clear deliverables and timelines.
Every package is quoted per project.
2 weeks
For teams who inherited a system, or are about to scale one, and need an honest read before committing budget.
- Full review of the codebase, database schema and infrastructure as they stand today.
- Written findings ranked by risk, with the reasoning and the evidence behind each one.
- A target architecture and a staged migration path you can execute incrementally.
- Security, performance and data-integrity problems called out explicitly, not softened.
- A walkthrough call with your team, plus written answers to the follow-up questions.
- Not included: implementation, refactoring or bug fixes. This engagement produces the plan, not the code.
4 weeks
For getting one real slice of the product designed, built, tested and running in production.
- A discovery week that ends in a written scope, a data model and acceptance criteria.
- One agreed slice built to production quality: a feature, an API, an integration or a module.
- Automated tests over the paths that carry money, permissions and personal data.
- Dockerised build and a GitHub Actions pipeline, deployed to infrastructure you own.
- Source in your repository from the first commit, with full intellectual property transfer.
- Handover: architecture notes, a deployment runbook and a walkthrough with your team.
- Not included: open-ended scope changes mid-sprint. New requirements are scoped into the next one.
per month
For teams that need senior engineering judgement continuously, without hiring a full-time lead.
- Architecture ownership: I make and document the technical decisions your team builds on.
- Code review on every pull request, with the reasoning explained rather than a bare approval.
- Mentoring for your developers: pairing, standards, and turning tribal knowledge into written practice.
- Release management: CI/CD pipelines, deployment cadence, incident response and rollback procedures.
- Hiring support: technical screening and take-home review while you grow the team.
- An agreed number of days per month, booked in advance, on a rolling monthly commitment.
- Not included: full-time availability, or delivering a whole roadmap myself. That is a Build Sprint.

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.
Backend: Node.js with NestJS or Express, and PHP with Laravel. Frontend: React, Next.js and Angular on TypeScript. Data: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, SQL Server and Redis. Infrastructure: Docker, GitHub Actions, Linux and Nginx, hosted on AWS, DigitalOcean or Hetzner. I also build real-time features with WebRTC and Socket.io, and mobile or desktop builds with Ionic, React Native and Electron.
Yes, and it is a large part of what I do. I start with a review: read the code, map the schema, run it locally, and write down what is safe to change and what is load-bearing. You get findings ranked by risk before anyone refactors anything. From there we either stabilise and extend in place, or plan a staged migration with the old system still running.
You get a working deployment you can open, not a status report you have to trust. I work in short cycles with a review point each week: what shipped, what is next, and anything that changed the estimate. Day to day I use whatever your team already uses — Slack, Teams or email — and issues live in your tracker. Decisions that affect architecture are written down, not just said on a call.
I am based in Giza, Egypt (UTC+2, and UTC+3 during summer time) and work remotely with clients worldwide. That gives a full working-day overlap with Europe, the Gulf and Africa, and a reliable morning overlap with the UK. North American mornings fall in my late afternoon and evening. Availability and response expectations are agreed in writing before an engagement starts.
Yes. I work in Arabic and English, and I build bilingual products where Arabic is a first-class locale rather than a mirrored afterthought. In practice that means proper RTL layout, correct typography and number handling, translated content models in the database, and an admin panel your Arabic-speaking team can genuinely operate. This site itself runs in both languages.
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.
