Ideas.
Engineered.

I’m Safwat. A full-stack engineer building AI-native products from interface to infrastructure.

HOW I WORK

Understand → define → design → build → iterate.

My strongest work sits at the intersection of engineering, product thinking and systems design — where understanding the real problem matters as much as knowing how to build the solution.

01 ACRELYX AI
Co-Founder · Founding Software Engineer

An AI-native decision platform for real-estate investors.

Acrelyx is a two-person real-estate technology startup I co-founded and architected from zero to one. The product unifies property discovery, investment analysis, comparable-sales research, investor criteria and portfolio workflows into a single decision surface.

Property discovery AI deal analysis Buy Boxes Saved deals Comparable sales Investor workflows

Full-stack architecture

Built across React.js web and React Native/Expo mobile frontends with Node.js/Express APIs, PostgreSQL/Prisma, Redis/BullMQ asynchronous processing and pgvector infrastructure for vector search and AI-driven analysis.

React.js React Native / Expo Node.js / Express PostgreSQL / Prisma Redis / BullMQ pgvector LLM workflows

AI as product infrastructure

Integrated LLM analysis directly into the core decision workflow, combining listing data, comparable sales, valuation signals and investor criteria to produce structured deal scores, verdicts, reasoning and recommendations rather than exposing users to a generic standalone chatbot.

Product discovery & measured impact

Worked directly with real-estate operators and an experienced business attorney to translate transaction, risk and decision workflows into product requirements. Internal benchmarking showed an 80%+ reduction in first-pass analysis time and 5× greater property-screening throughput.

Commercial source code remains private. Product screens shown here omit sensitive implementation details.
02 PALATRA
Founder · Product Lead

Experience-first restaurant and venue discovery.

Traditional restaurant search is good at telling users where to eat, but much worse at answering what the experience will actually feel like. Palatra reframes discovery around intent, context and atmosphere.

The problem

Important dining decisions often require bouncing between menus, reviews, social media, reservation apps and restaurant sites.

The product

Users refine recommendations through vibe, cuisine, occasion, price, interior and outdoor experience before exploring curated matches.

03 SENIOR CAPSTONE · CLASSROOM ATTENDANCE TRACKER
Full-Stack Development · UI / Frontend

One attendance system, two completely different user flows.

Designed and implemented a role-based classroom attendance platform with separate teacher and student experiences inside one consistent system.

Teacher Create class → Generate QR → Run session → Review activity
Student Create account → Scan classroom QR → Attendance recorded

Engineering challenge

Built RESTful Flask APIs for authentication, roster processing and attendance workflows while keeping instructor administration powerful and student check-in nearly frictionless across desktop and mobile layouts.

SELECTED PRODUCTION & TECHNICAL WORK

Design taste matters. Shipping systems that move a metric matters more.

01

Production AI & Cloud Systems

Built OpenAI/ChatGPT integrations and deployed Claude Code agents across production applications while operating containerized workloads across AWS EKS and GCP.

Kubernetes · Prometheus · Grafana · CI/CD
02

Customer Retention Platform

Built a Flask-based internal messaging platform with authenticated service-to-service communication, webhooks, retries, rate limiting, logging and reliable message processing.

40% increase in returning-buyer engagement
03

Automated Auction Proof Capture

Built an automated system that detected live eBay lot changes, captured and labeled video evidence and integrated the results into an existing Flask review workflow.

26% faster order-shipping velocity during pilot runs
04

Auction Analytics & Data Pipelines

Developed Python and SQL ETL workflows and reporting around buyer behavior, geographic demand, seasonality and auction performance.

Data pipelines → operational decision support
05

TinyJava Compiler

Built a compiler pipeline implementing lexical analysis, LALR parsing, AST construction, symbol tables, scoping, type checking and semantic validation.

ABOUT

Technical enough to build the system. Product-minded enough to question whether it should be built that way.

I’m a full-stack engineer with a background in computer science, mathematics, data science, distributed systems, cloud infrastructure and early-stage product development.

I’m most energized by ambiguous problems where I can work directly with users, understand the real problem, define the architecture and turn an idea into production software.
