Hello DEV.To friends! I’m Mohab Abd El-Dayem, backend engineer at MaxAB by day, curious tinkerer by night. After years of stashing tips in private gists and Notion pages, I’ve finally shipped my personal tech blog — Mohab.dev.
Why another backend blog?
Field-tested lessons Every post comes from production incidents, not theory.
Bite-sized reads Short enough to finish with your coffee, dense enough to bookmark.
Turn the unstructured into structured by trying to write about topics I know to identify the gaps in my knowledge.
Laying my brick in the knowledge base in the field, like many awesome articles from awesome people, contributed to who I am now as a software engineer.
What you can expect here
| Theme | Sample Topics in the Pipeline |
|---|---|
| Resilient Backends | High-level and low-level system design topics • Communications protocols like grpc and graphql |
| Data & Storage | Database concurrency • Query optimization • Database internals |
| Observability | Prometheus → Grafana the painless way • Structured logging patterns |
| Dev Life | Debug-driven learning • Balancing night-owl coding with sunrise stand-ups • Opinion posts |
| “Coffee Break” Reads | Architecture tales, book notes, snippets that amused me |
Publishing rhythm: Fortnightly. Short, focused, field-tested.
