Saad Batwa

I'm Saad, a software engineer at Qanoniah. I build web apps with Laravel and Vue, and I've built tools that thousands of Umm Al-Qura University students use.

About

I'm a full-stack engineer who leans toward the backend. At Qanoniah, a legal-tech company, I work on a contract management platform in Laravel: contract editing with live collaboration, approval workflows and e-signatures. I graduated in Software Engineering from Umm Al-Qura University in 2026 with a 4.0 GPA. Outside work I teach programming and build tools for UQU students, like the majors guide and the system that assigns medical interns to hospitals.

What I can help with

Systems for organisations

Admin panels, approval flows and reports that replace spreadsheets and paper. Usually Laravel with Filament or Vue, deployed on a server I can hand over.

Products from idea to launch

The whole thing: data model, backend, UI, payments and deployment. S-Grade, Catodemy and Warsha all started as a blank repo.

Teaching programming

One-on-one tutoring and summer courses for university students, mostly web development with Laravel and Svelte.
