Pavly Hanna
Civil Engineer → iOS Developer → Founder
Hi, I'm Pavly — the founder behind GoodShift. My path here wasn't a straight line: I trained as a civil engineer, fell in love with building software, and now I build products that make everyday work simpler and fairer.
My journey
Studied Civil Engineering for five years at The British University in Egypt, graduating in 2019 with a dual degree from London South Bank University (UK).
Spent around two years at EEC, then moved to GSEC — where I currently work as a structural engineer, a role I genuinely enjoy.
Certified Project Management Professional (PMP #3427390) and an active member of the Project Management Institute (PMI).
What I do
Monday Snippets
A weekly newsletter for 2,000+ subscribers — book, article and podcast recommendations, reflections, and notes from my journey as an indie iOS developer.
Building & writing
I build apps, design, edit video, and write about productivity, entrepreneurship, money and life — plus the apps and tech I love. (And yes — I'm a Madridista. ⚽)
Investing in the open
I've been investing in the stock market since August 2022, sharing the journey openly through my site, social media and YouTube.
Freelancing
I started by building websites for clients on small projects, and have grown into an expert — reflected in a 5-star rating on my Upwork profile.
