My journey began in Cairo, where I studied Computer Engineering on a competitive scholarship and graduated with distinction. That foundation opened the door to Amazon—first in Edinburgh, where I worked on Top-Level Domains and advertising analytics, then in Berlin, where I contributed to retail systems before joining the AWS S3 organization. Over time, these experiences drew me closer to the work I enjoy most: designing clean boundaries, untangling legacy systems, and delivering measurable results.

What I do now

In 2025, I made the significant decision to leave Amazon after almost a decade and start my own consultancy—bringing the rigor and standards of big tech to a wider range of teams. These days I partner with organizations that want to modernize backends, migrate confidently to the cloud, or push their data platforms to deliver real performance. I’m pragmatic about tools—comfortable in Java/Kotlin, fluent across the AWS ecosystem (S3, EMR, DynamoDB, Lambda, ECS/EKS), and happy to reach for Apache Spark when the scale demands it. But I don’t limit myself to a fixed stack: I thrive on tackling new technologies, adapting quickly, and delivering results even in unfamiliar territory. What matters most to me are the outcomes: simpler systems, smoother operations, and metrics that are vital for operations and learnings.
