About
Building reliable systems since 2018
Mohamed El Amine Meghni is a Senior Backend Engineer with 5+ years of experience designing and shipping production-grade systems. Based in Algiers, Algeria, he works remotely with teams worldwide.
He specialises in Laravel API architecture, DevOps infrastructure, and solution design — from first commit to production monitoring. He has managed 11 VPS environments, maintained ~95% uptime, and compressed deployment cycles from hours to minutes.
He also maintains 5 open source packages for the Laravel, NestJS, and JavaScript ecosystems — covering Algerian SATIM card payments, CAPTCHA protection, and API boilerplate.
Beyond engineering, Mohamed has written 8 technical articles and mentored junior engineers, believing that clear documentation and knowledge sharing are as important as clean code.

Work history
Senior Backend Engineer
● runningSadeem Informatique
Apr 2024 — Present · Algiers — Remote
- Started building full-stack Laravel projects, then shifted focus to backend engineering — REST API design, database modelling, and scalable system architecture — as the company moved toward larger, more complex products.
- Took on DevOps responsibilities organically: provisioned and maintained 11 Linux VPS environments, replaced manual SSH/FTP deployments with automated CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Slack alerts), cutting deployment time from ~2 hrs to minutes; implemented production monitoring (Beszel, Uptime Kuma) achieving ~95% uptime across all environments.
- Led solution architecture on 2 major projects — designed a scalable, multi-tier infrastructure separating application, cache, filesystem, and database layers, with isolated pre-production and production environments.
- Mentored 5+ junior developers on backend best practices, Git workflows, and branching policies; ran code reviews and contributed to scrum ceremonies.
- Wrote 8 technical articles for the Sadeem engineering blog covering backend architecture and DevOps best practices.
- Built an internal observability tool with NestJS, React, and TypeScript to centralize and track error logs across internal solutions, using ClickHouse for high-volume log storage, PostgreSQL, and Redis, integrated via an existing internal NestJS SDK.
