Shadi Jabbour

Senior software engineer / backend, platform, and full-stack product work / Raleigh, NC

Senior software engineer with backend depth and end-to-end delivery.

I build backend-heavy products that stay fast, clear, and reliable in production.

I work across APIs, services, automation, cloud infrastructure, and the product layer around them. The throughline is the same: reduce operational drag, keep the system understandable, and ship work that survives real usage.

01 / Selected work

Shipped work with real operational weight.

A few representative examples of where I have done the most useful engineering work: shipping systems, fixing core problems, and keeping delivery moving under real constraints.

Stealth startup

Retail operations platform

Lead Software Engineer

2023 - Present

Built and deployed production systems for retail-focused client workflows, with ownership across product logic, frontend delivery, backend services, databases, and cloud infrastructure.

  • Designed cloud architecture and autoscaling policies that improved reliability while controlling cost.
  • Set up delivery workflows that improved deployment speed and code quality without adding process noise.
  • Owned implementation from rough requirements through shipped production behavior.

Consulting systems and cloud delivery

Software Consultant

2019 - Present

Delivered full-stack applications and cloud systems across client work spanning product delivery, authentication, backend services, analytics, and migration planning.

  • Implemented secure authentication flows, scalable backend services, and production deployment workflows.
  • Migrated enterprise data systems to cloud platforms while reducing downtime and data-loss risk.
  • Built analytics and reporting workflows for forecasting and operational visibility.

Core application re-architecture

Software Engineer

2022 - 2023

Reworked a core production application to improve modularity, security, deployment simplicity, and operational reliability.

  • Resolved memory and database performance issues that reduced server resource usage by more than 50%.
  • Implemented CI/CD pipelines and container-based deployment workflows to improve uptime.
  • Balanced engineering cleanup with practical release pressure inside an enterprise environment.

02 / Build lab

Public projects that show how I think when I can share the code.

Not every good system can be shown publicly. These repos still show the patterns I keep coming back to: automation, developer tooling, workflow design, and full-stack execution.

Featured repo Mobile + MCP

RemoteDevAI

AI-powered remote development platform for controlling Claude Code and other coding assistants from your phone, with voice-driven tasking, live monitoring, and desktop execution of development workflows.

Featured repo Python + Docs

terminalApp

Terminal session logger that captures commands and output, writes a shareable Google Doc, and adds a summary so teams can turn server troubleshooting and installation fixes into repeatable documentation.

Featured repo Flutter + speech

Jargone

Meeting companion that listens to live conversation, spots complicated terminology in real time, and surfaces plain-language explanations so you do not get lost when the jargon starts stacking up.

Featured repo Django

ReservationApp

Reservation workflow application with analytics and reporting, built around a real business flow instead of generic CRUD screens.

03 / Systems view

Range is only useful when the system stays understandable.

I am at my best when a team needs someone who can move between product shape, service design, data concerns, and deployment reality without creating extra complexity.

01

Own the whole path

I can move from UI and product logic into APIs, databases, infrastructure, test coverage, and release workflows without losing the thread.

02

Prefer durable systems

The goal is not clever architecture. The goal is software that stays maintainable, reliable, and easier to change after the first release.

03

Build for real teams

I optimize for maintainability, operational clarity, and remote collaboration, especially where requirements are still moving and someone needs to turn ambiguity into shipped work.
