Mohamed Hussein Abdulrahman

Building AI-powered developer tools & workflow automation. 9-year developer, Cairo-based. Shipping products, not just code.

Who I Am

9-year developer based in Cairo, Egypt. Currently building tools for developers who value privacy, locality, and control. Documenting the journey from employment to independent product-building. Formerly 7 years at a single company, now freelancing and shipping SaaS products. Hands-on, keyboard-driven, and allergic to cloud vendor lock-in.

MCP servers, local inference, and agent orchestration for developers who want private, self-hosted AI.

Workflow Apps

Email management, triage, and automation tools that respect your attention and your data.

Broadcast & Content

Livestreams, podcasts, and curated AI news — keeping the community informed and connected.
