About

I’m Mustafa Sayyed — a full stack developer who cares about shipping products that solve real problems. My work spans scalable web applications, backend systems, and AI-powered tools.

I don’t treat technologies as black boxes. I learn from first principles: experiment, break things, fix them, and rebuild them better. That curiosity is what drives how I engineer — understanding the system under the hood before building on top of it.

Right now, I’m building getissues — an AI-powered platform where agents find open source issues matched to your skills and interests.
