I build operational systems for NGOs and mission-driven organizations.
I work directly with NGOs, non-profits, and the organizations behind them. No middlemen, no templates, no bloat. Just software that fits how your organization works.

About
I build operational software for NGOs: internal tools, pipelines, and sites that keep programs running.
I've spent the last decade building software with organizations that don't have time for vanity projects, including Saint Andrew's Refugee Services (StARS), where I saw firsthand how much an NGO's work hinges on the systems behind it.
Selected Work
Work & Demos
Eyesha Health
Replaced manual coordination with a structured digital platform: REDCap data flows into custom dashboards, freeing the team from spreadsheets and giving leadership a clear, real-time view of patient interactions.
Internal tool, not available for public access. Details available on request.
Saint Andrew's Refugee Services
Rebuilt Saint Andrew's digital presence: replaced a static HTML site with a SvelteKit PWA, cutting page load from 8 s to 1.2 s (85% faster). Integrated online giving (Stripe); first 3 months saw 40% increase in digital donations. Built volunteer sign-up flow that reduced coordinator admin time by 6 hrs/week.
Start Local
Centralized program data and donor reporting in one platform with automated n8n pipelines: reduced manual data entry by ~80% and shortened reporting turnaround from weeks to days.
LivingHope Church
Designed and deployed LivingHope's case management system: migrated 3 years of paper records to a structured digital database, reducing intake time from 45 min to 12 min per beneficiary. Automated monthly donor reports: team reclaimed 8 hrs/month previously spent on manual spreadsheet work.
Birth Guardians Egypt
Built Birth Guardians' community platform and resource hub: onboarded 200+ families in first 6 weeks. Implemented automated appointment reminders via WhatsApp integration: reduced no-show rate from 34% to 11%. Self-hosted on their own VPS, cutting recurring SaaS costs by $340/month.

Client Feedback
What Clients Say
Before the system was built, our intake process took 45 minutes per case. It now takes 12. That time goes back to the people we serve. Abdelfatah understood what we needed operationally, and delivered it without disruption to our team.
The screening platform Abdelfatah built handles patient records across multiple countries. It's reliable, our field staff can use it without training overhead, and when something needs to change, he responds quickly. That matters when you're working across time zones.

Questions worth asking
You do, fully. On handoff you receive the complete source code with no licensing fees, vendor lock-in, or ongoing dependency on me to keep things running. The codebase is yours to extend, hand to another developer, or self-host however you like.
Typically 40% upfront to begin, 40% at the midpoint milestone, and 20% on final delivery. For larger engagements we can split into more phases aligned with your grant disbursement cycle. Just let me know early and we'll structure it accordingly.
Yes. I issue formal invoices with itemised line items, project descriptions, and the detail level most grant auditors require. I'm also happy to align invoice dates with your reporting periods or provide supporting documentation if your funder needs it.
A landing page typically takes 1–2 weeks. A multi-page website takes 2–4 weeks. Custom dashboards and automation systems run 4–8 weeks depending on scope. I'll give you a clear timeline before we start, and I stick to it.
Yes. Every project includes a 30-day post-launch support window for bug fixes and minor adjustments at no extra cost. For ongoing maintenance, content updates, or feature additions, we can agree a simple monthly retainer.
Possibly. I work with a handful of mission-driven organisations on flexible terms each year. If your work aligns and your timeline isn't rushed, reach out and we'll find a structure that makes sense.
