About
Hi! I'm Hakem, a developer from Cairo working on Slty and other projects. I’m interested in web development, teaching math, trading Forex since age 12, mining ETH in 2021, and studying psychology, particularly the neurological and biological aspects of human behavior.
I’ve worked as a software engineer at startups and freelance projects, crossed $10k on Upwork. In 2022, I joined BaskHealth, a US startup, as Lead Developer, where I secure $2M in funding and led a team of five developers to build its telehealth platform, improving digital health for doctors, and patients.
After high school, I mastered math, chemistry, and physics through numerous books, winning a National STEM competition in 2019, and I’ve built strong coding skills through various projects and courses since.
I earned my AAS in Chemistry in 2018 and am pursuing a BEng in Computer Science Eng at Helwan University.
I invite you to explore my projects, Upwork, resume, and other sections of my website.

Wow that’s amazing results. Thank you so much for doing all that! I didn’t realize page builders and themes slowed it down so much. I didn’t really know any other options for designing a website. I’d love to discuss page building and a theme with you!
