Hands-on support
Hello, I’m Mahmoud Zalt, a technologist driven by curiosity and a passion for building modern software that matters.
I mentor engineers, founders, and teams who want clearer thinking, better decisions, and faster progress, especially around AI, software engineering, and career growth.
Across 16+ years in technology I have worked as a software engineer, engineering manager, tech lead, founder, AI consultant, and open source creator. I have built production systems, led engineering organizations, designed AI platforms, and launched startups. Several of my open source projects have been adopted widely and helped developers improve real-world workflows.
My background sits at the intersection of software engineering, AI, technical leadership, and startup execution. I help people understand complex problems, choose smart approaches, and move forward with clarity.
I can support you with topics such as breaking into AI or leveling up technically, designing scalable systems, navigating promotions and interviews, validating product ideas, improving engineering habits, and building realistic learning paths without overwhelm.
My approach is direct, practical, and focused on outcomes. We look at your situation, clarify what matters, and work through concrete steps together.
If a session isn’t genuinely useful or you don’t feel it delivered real value, I won’t accept a payment!
“Learn to share, share to learn.”
