Hisham Medhat

Hisham Medhat is an independent software developer who distributes his work through GitHub, where his public repository profile serves as the primary hub for his projects. His catalog currently consists of a single published package, PortPeek, a lightweight network utility designed to give users visibility into activity on their local machine. PortPeek addresses a common frustration in day-to-day development work: identifying which processes are listening on local ports and resolving port conflicts quickly. The tool allows users to inspect active port usage and free an occupied port with a single click, eliminating the need to manually look up process identifiers and terminate them through command-line tools. This places the software squarely within the developer tools and system utility category, with practical relevance for web developers, backend engineers, and anyone running local servers, databases, or containerized services that compete for standard ports such as 3000, 8080, or 5432. Typical use cases include clearing a stuck development server before restarting a project, diagnosing why an application fails to bind to its expected port, and performing quick housekeeping on a workstation running multiple services. Because the publisher's portfolio is focused and compact, it reflects the style of an individual developer releasing a targeted solution to a specific workflow problem rather than a broad commercial product line. Users interested in the software can find the source code, documentation, and any updates through the publisher's GitHub presence, which also provides the standard channels for reporting issues or contributing improvements.
