+  "profileText": "HAMZA AYED — Senior Mobile Architect\nRide-Hailing & Real-Time Systems · FinTech in Emerging Markets\n\nSUMMARY:\nSenior Mobile Architect who built and launched two production-grade ride-hailing platforms (Tripz — Egypt, Intaleq — Syria) from zero to live operations. Designed and delivered full mobility ecosystems including Rider, Driver, Admin and Customer Support applications, along with backend APIs, security layers, DevOps pipelines and fintech integrations. Specialized in real-time systems, self-hosted geo-services, high-latency optimization and infrastructure cost reduction.\n\nTARGET ROLES: Senior / Lead Mobile Engineer | Mobile Architect | Founding Engineer (Mobility, Logistics, FinTech)\n\nHEADLINE METRICS:\n- 8 applications engineered and launched across 2 ride-hailing platforms (Tripz, Intaleq)\n- Under 4 months from zero to live operations for the full Tripz ecosystem\n- ~80% lower third-party mapping API spend — over $10,000/month — via self-hosted infrastructure\n- 5,750+ drivers onboarded across 2 markets\n\nAT A GLANCE:\n- Tripz (Egypt): Scaled platform to 2,464 riders and 4,318 drivers. Built and launched 4 distinct apps plus full backend in under 4 months with near-zero map infrastructure cost.\n- Intaleq (Syria): Acquired 2,811 riders and 1,440 drivers in the first 2 months. Engineered a custom operational payment layer to bypass API limitations in a highly constrained market.\n\nTECHNICAL SKILLS:\n- Mobile & Architecture: Flutter, Dart, GetX, Provider, Clean Architecture, Offline-First Design, REST APIs, State Management, Native Android (Java), iOS / Android Release Management, Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), Push Notifications, Background Location Tracking\n- Real-Time & Geo Systems: WebSockets, Real-Time Dispatching, Live Tracking, GraphHopper, PostGIS, Martin (vector tile server), OpenStreetMap (OSM), MapLibre GL, Self-Hosted Map Tiles, Geospatial Queries, High-Latency Network Optimization\n- Backend & DevOps: PHP, Laravel, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, Docker, Linux, Nginx, Git, CI/CD (Gitea), Infrastructure Cost Optimization, Self-Hosted Infrastructure\n- Security & FinTech: Payment Gateway Integration (7+ providers), HMAC Security, RASP, Fake GPS Detection, Anti-Tampering, KYC Automation\n\nEXPERIENCE:\n- Senior Mobile Systems Architect — Intaleq | Jan 2025 – Present | MENA Region (Remote)\n  • Solely architected and launched a ride-hailing platform in a high-constraint market (Syria), reaching 2,811 riders and 1,440 drivers within the first two months.\n  • Designed and implemented Rider, Driver, Admin and Customer Support applications.\n  • Built a custom payment helper application to integrate legacy, non-API local payment gateways, enabling reliable driver balance top-ups despite infrastructure limitations.\n  • Leveraged fully self-hosted map tiles and routing engines to eliminate dependency on expensive third-party mapping APIs, keeping operational costs near zero.\n  • Designed an offline-first caching mechanism ensuring data integrity and uninterrupted driver–rider interactions during unstable network conditions.\n  • Optimized deployment cycles by 40% through a secure, self-hosted CI/CD pipeline using Gitea, ensuring data sovereignty and rapid release efficiency.\n- Lead Mobile Engineer — Tripz | Jan 2024 – Dec 2024 | Cairo, Egypt (Remote) (alternate framing for startup/founding roles: Founding Mobile Architect)\n  • Solely architected, built and launched a complete ride-hailing ecosystem (Rider, Driver, Admin, Customer Support apps plus backend API) in under four months, scaling to 2,464 riders and 4,318 drivers.\n  • Designed the real-time dispatch and live tracking architecture on WebSockets with Redis-backed state, sustaining continuous driver location streams over high-latency MENA mobile networks.\n  • Cut third-party mapping API spend by approximately 80% — over $10,000/month — by self-hosting map tiles, routing logic and polyline generation on dedicated servers.\n  • Replaced traditional call-center hardware by engineering a secure, mobile-first Customer Support application, enabling support agents to operate entirely remotely.\n  • Automated driver onboarding through AI-powered KYC integration, reducing manual review time and minimizing fraudulent registrations.\n  • Implemented API-level HMAC security, anti-tampering mechanisms and Fake GPS detection to protect geo-spatial and financial data.\n  • Collaborated closely with business stakeholders and operations teams to align product and architecture decisions with on-the-ground market realities.\n- Lead Mobile Engineer (Flutter / Native) — Independent Consultant | Jan 2017 – Dec 2023 | Various Clients — MENA & Remote\n  • Delivered 30+ production-grade mobile applications across e-commerce, delivery, healthcare and news sectors, acting as technical decision-maker for early-stage clients.\n  • Migrated legacy Android (Java) applications to Flutter, cutting maintenance complexity and delivery timelines by roughly 50%.\n  • Owned App Store and Google Play release management end-to-end, from store listings and review submission through versioned production rollout.\n  • Built custom Flutter plugins and tailored API layers to integrate with complex legacy backend systems.\n\nOPEN SOURCE (published, verifiable):\n- intaleq_maps (Flutter SDK — pub.dev) — pub.dev/packages/intaleq_maps. Map rendering, offline tile caching and route plotting, optimised for low-bandwidth environments.\n- intaleq-maps-gl (JavaScript library — npm) — npmjs.com/package/intaleq-maps-gl.
