Hire the Best Automation Engineers in Alexandria, VA

Most businesses are still running on manual processes that eat time, slow growth, and drain resources and most developers just write code without understanding the business problem behind it. I do both. I am a Senior Full Stack AI Engineer with 6+ years of experience building AI-powered automation systems, scalable web applications, and production-ready SaaS products for startups and growing businesses. My work sits at the intersection of intelligent automation and clean software engineering which means you get systems that don't just work, they work for your business. Here is what I build: 1. AI Agents & LLM-powered applications using OpenAI, LangChain and RAG architectures 2. End-to-end automation workflows using n8n, Make and Zapier that run 24/7 without manual effort 3. Full stack web apps and MVPs using Next.js, React, Node.js, Python and FastAPI 4. Multi-tenant SaaS platforms built to onboard and scale multiple clients cleanly 5. API integrations connecting your CRM, payments, Slack, Notion, HubSpot and more I have automated workflows that were consuming 30+ hours weekly down to under 2 hours, launched SaaS products serving hundreds of active users, and cut operational costs by 40% through smart process automation. My team brings enterprise-level experience including payment security systems at the Bank of America scale. I don't just deliver code I deliver outcomes. 📩 Message me directly with your project and let's figure out exactly what you need.

Hi, I’m Mohannad — a Full-Stack Developer and QA Automation Engineer focused on one thing: helping teams ship fast without breaking things in production.

I’ve worked on enterprise and government systems where quality, reliability, and compliance are non-negotiable. What I do Build Develop scalable SaaS applications using React, Node.js, and Firebase Design systems that support real users, multi-role access, and growth Implement authentication, dashboards, and Stripe billing (subscriptions & trials) Test & Protect Build automation frameworks using Playwright, Cypress, and Selenium End-to-end, API, and regression testing that catches issues early CI/CD integration so every release is validated before it goes live Automate UiPath workflows to eliminate repetitive manual processes Data extraction, validation, and reporting (PDFs, Excel, APIs) Ensure Compliance WCAG & Section 508 accessibility testing (JAWS, Axe, WAVE) Experience with compliance-heavy systems where standards matter Why clients hire me I don’t just “test” — I prevent production issues before they happen I build systems that are scalable, testable, and maintainable I think like an engineer, not just a tester Clear communication, fast execution, no hand-holding needed Recent Work Built a SaaS dashboard with authentication, Stripe billing, and real-time data Developed a Playwright automation framework with CI/CD integration Automated business workflows using UiPath, reducing manual effort Tech Stack React, Next.js, Node.js, Express, Firebase Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, Appium Postman, REST Assured, SoapUI UiPath, SQL, GitHub, Jenkins, Azure DevOps Let’s work If you need someone who can build your product and ensure it works correctly at scale, I can help.
