Full-Stack Software Engineer · Founder, SOFA Digital Technologies

I build revenue-critical web platforms — payments, shipping, automation — for businesses in Saudi Arabia, the GCC and beyond.

E-commerce that actually takes Mada and Apple Pay, logistics APIs that update orders on their own, bilingual Arabic/English sites, and workflows that remove manual work.

Every project is labeled honestly: live in production, client work, my own company, or a concept that shows how I'd solve the problem.

04Process

How we'll work together.

I work on UTC+3 — the same clock as Riyadh and Jeddah — so calls happen in your business hours and messages get answered the same day.

  1. 01

    Discovery call

    A free 20-minute call to understand the business problem, the tools you already use and what "done" looks like.

  2. 02

    Scoped proposal

    A fixed scope with clear milestones and deliverables, so you know exactly what you're paying for and when it lands.

  3. 03

    Build in weekly demos

    You see working software on a staging link every week — not status reports — and can steer early.

  4. 04

    Launch + handover

    Production launch, documentation and every credential handed over to you, then support while it settles.

Same hours as your teamRiyadh, Jeddah, Addis Ababa: all UTC+3.

05About

You talk to the engineer who writes the code.

I'm Abdu — a full-stack engineer and the founder and manager of SOFA Digital Technologies PLC, a software company headquartered in Addis Ababa with a branch in Jeddah.

I work directly with business owners in Saudi Arabia and across the GCC. There's no account manager in between: the person on the call is the person building your platform.

My academic background includes AI, blockchain and digital forensics, so security and data integrity are part of how I design systems from the start.
