Hi, my name is

Ali Hewiagh

Senior Software Engineer

Backend ArchitectureCloud InfrastructureAI Integration

Architecting scalable backend systems and cloud infrastructure with 7+ years of experience. I specialize in NestJS, TypeScript, Python, AWS, and PostgreSQL, delivering production-grade applications that handle real-world complexity at scale.

Currently leading backend architecture at Quite Loud (UAE), where I design modular systems, implement Terraform-based AWS infrastructure, and integrate AI-powered automation to transform event-tech platforms.

When I'm not architecting systems or coding, you'll find me playing football, exploring new technologies, or enjoying coffee with family and friends.

01.About Me

Ali Hewiagh

Senior Software Engineer

Ali Hewiagh

Senior Software Engineer with 7+ years of experience designing scalable backend systems, cloud architectures, and full-stack applications. From Libya 🇱🇾, now based in Kuala Lumpur 🇲🇾, I specialize in Node.js/NestJS, TypeScript, Python, PostgreSQL, and AWS infrastructure.

Currently leading backend architecture at Quite Loud (UAE), where I architect modular NestJS services, design AWS infrastructure with Terraform, and integrate AI-powered automation using LangChain and LangGraph and other tools to enhance operational efficiency across event-tech platforms.

Previously at Picl and Paper Video, I delivered high-performance platforms with semantic search, video streaming optimization, and 99.9% uptime. I also co-authored a published ML model for fraud detection in waste management systems.

My passion lies in building robust, scalable systems that solve real-world problems, whether it's architecting cloud infrastructure, optimizing database performance, or integrating AI capabilities into production applications.

What People Say!

Ali is a top developer. He is consistent and adaptable. He takes the time to make sure that things are done properly and does not cut corners. Each task is approached with detail and rigour. When new technologies need to be learned, Ali dives right into the docs and figures out how to implement them properly. Something I appreciate a lot about Ali is that if I am wrong about something, he will let me know. I value this a lot.

CEO at Paper Video & Founder of Picl

I had the pleasure of working closely with Ali during a critical growth phase at our startup, where they served as our Senior Software Engineer. His combination of deep technical expertise, architectural thinking, and leadership under pressure made them absolutely indispensable. Ali didn’t just write great code, he built systems that scaled, mentored junior developers, and brought structure to a fast-moving environment without sacrificing velocity.
