About
Sherif Hafez
A full-stack product engineer based in Cairo. I build complete products — the backend, the dashboards, the apps, and the systems that keep them running.

I’m in my final year of Computer Science in Cairo, and I build software for a living — mostly product work: marketplaces, booking platforms, dashboards, and the back-office systems that run them. Many of these I’ve owned end to end, from the API to the admin to the app in someone’s hand.
The work spans 6markets — Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh, Mexico, Egypt and the US — which means a lot of Arabic-first, RTL, and multi-currency builds. The throughline isn’t a single stack; it’s taking a rough idea and turning it into something that holds up in front of real users.
Alongside the engineering, I work as a 2nd Assistant Director on Egyptian and international film productions — and occasionally both worlds meet on the same set.
Off the clock
Tools I build for myself
Including OpenClaw — a multi-model AI assistant that coordinates a whole team's work across Discord and WhatsApp.
Cars
A long-running obsession. The dream build is a BMW E30 M3 — old frame, modern heart.
On set
Assistant directing — the same instinct as engineering: make the plan, then make the day add up.
