Independent product engineer / Cairo + remote

I build the product work your team keeps postponing.

Fullstack builds, internal tools, and automations for founders and operations teams who need something reliable live, not another plan in a doc.

Youssef Wageeh Fullstack + AI automation

Good work feels lighter. I turn the messy middle, including handoffs, admin, and half-built product ideas, into a system your team can own.

Useful in the room when the problem is still fuzzy.

01 Selected work

Proof before promises.

A few systems I have built to make the next action obvious, repeatable, and less dependent on someone remembering to do it.

Case 01AutomationLead intake

From “new inquiry” to a useful next step.

A lead triage workflow that scores intent, drafts the reply, and alerts the right person before a good opportunity goes cold.

Form submissions are scored for urgency.

A draft reply and missing questions appear in the inbox.

Urgent leads reach Slack; the rest wait in a clean queue.

Case 02Reporting

Weekly failure reports, without the weekly export.

Twilio delivery errors become a scheduled CSV and a short email the team can act on.

Case 03Fullstack / ops

Network impact checks, from hours to minutes.

A tool that maps alarms and changes against live services, then gives the team an actionable export.

Great dev to work with. Works fast, understands things clearly, and gets things done within the requested timelines.

02 Services

Choose the mess you want off your plate.

Start with the problem, not the technology. I can help shape the smallest useful version and take it through handoff.

Ship a product surface

New feature, MVP, or internal app that needs to get into users' hands.

IncludesReact / Next.js, APIs, auth, data, deploy

↗

Automate the handoffs

Lead routing, reporting, CRM sync, ticket creation, and AI agents that do real work.

Includesn8n / Make / Zapier, Python, Node, docs

↗

Connect the stack

Systems that need to share data without copy-paste, fragile scripts, or mystery gaps.

IncludesAPIs, webhooks, integrations, monitoring

03 Approach

No black box.
Just momentum.

I keep the loop short: clear scope, working increments, and a handoff your team can actually use.

01
Frame
We name the pain, the users, and what “done” needs to change.
02
First useful version
The smallest path that proves the idea and exposes the real edges.
03
Build in the open
Working increments you can review, steer, and show to your team.
04
Hand off
Docs, ownership, and a system that does not need me standing beside it.

04 About the work

Technical depth, translated into useful decisions.

Research is part of the signal. The service is making a real product or process easier to run.

I work across the front, the back, and the awkward middle where teams lose time.

That means I can shape a useful interface, build the API behind it, and connect the workflow that keeps it moving after launch.

Tell me what is stuck.

Send the rough version. I’ll help turn it into a clear next step, even if the answer is not a build yet.
