About Me

Hello I'am Mohamed Hussein, Senior Fullstack Software Engineer With +9 years experience in mern and mean stack development. i have more than 9 years experience in frontend development with react/angular/vue and more than +5 years experience with golang and nodejs in backend in microservices docker and kubernetes.

StackExport — Full-Stack Code Generation Platform

I began building StackExport in early 2022 — before AI-based code-generation tools entered the market — driven by one question:

Why should developers keep spending weeks writing the same CRUD logic again and again?

Even today, with advanced AI tools, generating a complete, production-grade authentication system (access + refresh tokens, SSO, password reset, email verification) still takes days of prompting, debugging, and verifying correctness. When you already know exactly what you want, that time is wasted — especially when each developer on a team costs roughly $100K a year.

StackExport removes that inefficiency: developers can visually design their schema, define logic with a few clicks, and instantly export a full backend and frontend, ready for further customization. The generated systems follow strict best practices, so developers can focus only on critical business logic. It’s deterministic code generation, not probabilistic guessing.

Evolution & Core Architecture

The project began in Go, where I built a compiler-style engine that parsed and generated code from complex, cyclic AST (abstract syntax tree) structures. As the product evolved, I needed to share the same code-generation logic between backend and frontend: the backend generated real filesystem code, while the browser ran a virtual file system that simulated it live for instant previews.

I experimented with Protocol Buffers and other serialization strategies, but none handled cyclic, self-referencing structures gracefully. Eventually I realized TypeScript provided the ideal bridge — enabling shared AST definitions, schema validation, and type-safe communication between backend and frontend. That insight led me to rewrite more than 2 million lines of Go into TypeScript, rebuilding the backend in NestJS — the same framework StackExport now generates for users.

The platform extends the TypeScript compiler to intelligently merge user-edited code with regenerated output, enabling real-time incremental updates without overwriting custom logic.

This project is still evolving daily, focusing heavily on browser-level optimization. The core challenge is pushing the browser beyond its natural limits: generating, parsing, compiling, and flattening deeply nested data structures inside an environment with no true shared memory or atomic struct access. Even when running 100 Web Workers in parallel, all output must still reconcile into a single Redux state, which means costly marshalling between threads — often slower than executing on the main UI thread. Solving that required multiple experiments with memory layout, batching, and transfer strategies inspired by JetBrains and VS Code.

Upcoming work includes integrating Microsoft’s new Go → TypeScript compiler (running in WebAssembly) for faster in-browser compilation, and introducing collaborative real-time editing similar to Figma and Notion using Operational Transformation (OT) and CRDT algorithms. The roadmap also includes automated backend deployment — essentially “Vercel for APIs,” allowing generated backends to be built and deployed directly from the browser.

Technology Overview

Database: StackExport relies heavily on PostgreSQL functions and stored procedures to guarantee true ACID transactions, consistency, and low latency. Each user action can trigger multiple operations executed atomically within Postgres, avoiding round-trip overhead from traditional ORMs or REST calls.

Frontend: Built with React, Next.js, and TypeScript, using Radix UI and Shadcn for internal dashboards. Implements a custom virtual file system, Web Workers for AST flattening, a VS Code extension, and a forked Prettier for enhanced in-browser formatting. GraphQL is used for AST schema validation between services, and WebSockets enable live collaboration and sync.

Backend: Developed with NestJS and Node.js, with some specialized services in Go. Go services communicate through NATS and maintain their own databases, using Optimistic Concurrency Control (OCC) in Postgres to preserve data consistency across distributed workers. Includes a custom PostgreSQL parser fork for analyzing and regenerating user schemas. Employs Redis + BullMQ for queue and worker systems that build and compile code asynchronously in the background.

Infrastructure: Deployed with Docker and Kubernetes using Traefik for routing, Cloudflare for DNS and security, and Firecracker micro-VMs for executing user-generated code with hardware-level isolation — offering stronger security than Docker, V8 Isolates, or K8s Jobs. Also includes a self-hosted VPN, SendGrid for email flows, and a custom CI/CD system i built for deployments, migrations, analytics, and monitoring.

Summary: StackExport represents over three years of weekend and after-work development. It demonstrates how compiler engineering, database architecture, and cloud infrastructure can merge into a single deterministic system that generates production-ready software through engineering discipline — not AI luck.
