Hi there, I'm Mohamed (a.k.a. redomar) 👋

I’m a software engineer from Birmingham, England, UK. I enjoy building full stack and systems projects, with a particular interest in websites and tools that make everyday life a bit easier.

🔭 Longest running project – JavaGame

My first serious project, JavaGame, started as a small school project in May 2013 and has been growing ever since.
I used it to practise Java programming and experiment with new concepts. Over the years I’ve added networking support, a custom graphics engine and other features purely to challenge myself. Despite the plain working title, the project became a long term playground where I learnt about

• game loops and rendering pipelines,
• client server networking

🧾 Current project – Syphon

My current focus is Syphon, a budget tracking tool built with Next.js and Prisma. Syphon’s goal is to make budgeting straightforward by combining modern web technologies with solid engineering practices:

• Microservice architecture – separate services for the application, database and observability tools make it easy to scale and maintain.
• PostgreSQL + Prisma – reliable data storage and type safe access.
• OpenTelemetry – built in tracing so performance can be monitored from day one.
• Docker Compose – simple development and production deployment.

The project is still early stage, so feel free to browse the repository and provide feedback or open issues if you’d like to contribute!

📊 Languages & tools

Below are some of the languages and technologies I’ve been using recently, based on my GitHub repositories:

🗂 Other projects

I enjoy working on a variety of projects alongside my day job. A few highlights include:

• Full stack web apps – from personal websites to micro‑services architecture experiments.
• CLI tools and automation – scripts and small utilities to automate tasks and streamline workflows.
• Experiments in various languages – Python, Rust, and even some blockchain prototypes.

Feel free to explore my other repositories for more examples.

🌱 Fun facts

• I’m a big fan of gaming – hence the number of game projects in my profile!
• I enjoy learning new technologies and revisiting old projects to apply new practices.
• When I’m not coding, I like exploring cafés.

Thanks for visiting, and feel free to get in touch or open an issue if you have any questions.
