Laravel & Backend Engineering
Building robust Laravel and PHP backends with a focus on clean architecture, scalable applications, Eloquent data models, RESTful APIs, queues, jobs, and seamless integrations.
I'm Mahmoud Anwar, a software engineer and educator specializing in Laravel, backend development, and scalable software systems. I share practical engineering knowledge and build software solutions that solve real-world problems.
Building robust Laravel and PHP backends with a focus on clean architecture, scalable applications, Eloquent data models, RESTful APIs, queues, jobs, and seamless integrations.
Clear boundaries between HTTP, domain logic and data so features can be added without rewriting what already works.
One codebase serving many customers, with tenant identification, data isolation and permissions designed in from the start.
Feature and unit tests that describe real behaviour, so changes ship with confidence instead of crossed fingers.
Query optimisation, eager loading, queues and well-invalidated caches that keep response times predictable.
Speed up Laravel apps with caching and Redis: TTLs, invalidation, atomic locks, full-page caching and cache performance analytics.
Queues & Background Jobs
Run heavy work in the background with Laravel queues: dispatch jobs, chain and batch them, handle failures and manage workers.
Admin Panels with Filament
Build full admin panels with Filament PHP: resources, forms, tables, actions, relation managers, global search and widgets.
Testing with Pest PHP
Write clean Laravel tests in Pest PHP: expectations, hooks, datasets and higher-order tests for real CRUD and auth cases.
Full-Text Search with Scout
Add fast full-text search to Laravel with Scout, indexing Eloquent models and comparing Algolia, Meilisearch and Typesense.
Why some tasks should not run while the user waits, and how Laravel jobs, workers, retries and batches make background work simple.
How Filament turns your Eloquent models into a full admin panel with forms, tables, filters and actions, and when it is the right choice.
A friendly introduction to Pest PHP: readable tests, expectations, datasets and hooks, with real Laravel examples.
Practical backend engineering for applications that need maintainability, reliability, and room to grow.
Our first products are in development and not available yet. Need software for your business? Let's build it now.
We're building software products for practical business needs. None are available yet. Leave your email to hear the moment the first one launches.

Figures as previously reported; they are updated manually, not synced live.
Code that works today is the starting point. Code that can be understood, changed and trusted next year is the goal.
Clear structure and consistent conventions make applications easier to extend and maintain.
Automated tests turn "I hope this works" into evidence, so teams can refactor and ship without fear of hidden regressions.
Measure first, then fix what matters: queries, caching and queues chosen for the real problem, not for the trend.
Whether you're learning Laravel or building a product that needs a dependable backend, there's a practical next step.
