About Me
Fady Yassa
Dubai, UAE
I am a Computer Engineering graduate and Senior Software Engineer with deep expertise in backend development and a strong professional background in FastAPI, Node.js/NestJS, and Spring Boot. I focus on designing scalable architectures, building high-performance APIs, and delivering robust backend services that power real-world applications.
I have a proven track record of deploying innovative digital products, including two production-ready applications currently live on the Play Store and App Store, built with React Native. Alongside backend systems, I bring hands-on experience in cloud infrastructure, DevOps, and AWS services such as Lambda, ECS, S3, CloudFront, and Secrets Manager, ensuring end-to-end delivery of impactful solutions.
I also contribute by mentoring teams, driving architectural decisions, and ensuring backend systems remain resilient, maintainable, and future-proof. I am now seeking a senior-level opportunity where I can leverage my backend expertise, cloud knowledge, and leadership skills to deliver cutting-edge products at scale.
