Hi, I'm

Abdulhafiz
Faraj.

Full Stack Developer
· Backend Focused

Based in Dubai, UAE · Syrian · 6+ yrs

I design and build production-grade backends — multi-tenant SaaS platforms, travel booking engines, payment-integrated commerce systems, and high-performance APIs. I own services end-to-end across Laravel, Go, MySQL, and AWS, with a frontend reach in React when the stack calls for it.

Business Automation Suite Microservices Multi-Tenant AI / Computer Vision
01/2024 – Present

NovaCept

A modular business automation suite built on a multi-tenant microservices architecture — 9 connected modules spanning CRM, Property Management (PMS), HR & Payroll, Accounting, Invoicing, Point of Sale, and a Booking & Rent-a-Car engine. Modules share a single data model, identity layer, and audit trail, eliminating the fragmentation of disconnected point tools. Computer vision handles receipts, invoices, IDs, and license plates; lead scoring, churn prediction, and semantic search round out the AI layer.
