Mahmoud Miqdad
Full-Stack Software Engineer
I am Mahmoud Miqdad from Palestine, a Computer Systems Engineering graduate from Al-Azhar University with a 4.29/5.0 GPA (85.74%).
I work across the full stack: .NET on the backend — Clean Architecture, CQRS, and event-driven systems on RabbitMQ and SignalR — through to the Python/Django platforms and the interfaces users actually touch.
During my backend training at Foothill Technology Solutions I delivered a range of projects across the .NET stack, among them a distributed monitoring service. I also contributed pro bono to Masar, an early-stage e-learning startup, where I built the platform behind its course operations. Since September 2026 I work remotely as a full-stack .NET developer on contract with Optimiza's engineering team.
I also completed an intensive +660-hour bootcamp at Axsos Academy covering Python, Django, and the fundamentals behind scalable full-stack platforms.
