Based on 7 verified mentee reviews
With over a decade in software engineering, my career has been a global adventure spanning companies, cultures, and continents. I first cut my teeth in e-commerce development, splitting my time between Egypt and Germany, where I quickly moved from junior engineer to team leader.
Curiosity then pulled me into the fast-paced world of big data at a start-up, where I had a front-row seat to explosive growth as the company doubled in size. From there, I crossed the ocean to Canada, joining Amazon to elevate the Kindle shopping experience for millions of customers worldwide.
At AWS, I dove into cloud innovation—delivering cutting-edge features that shaped the future of how businesses scale. Leading larger teams, I embraced Agile to not just build resilient products, but also to cultivate engineers who thrive on continuous learning.
Today, as a Principle Software Engineering Manager at Microsoft, I’m focused on creating solutions that empower employees and unlock productivity in our increasingly remote-first world.
