Strategic Planning! with Mohamed

It was a pleasure meeting Mohamed during our mentoring session! Throughout the session, I felt empowered, inspired, and motivated to take action. I also felt heard and understood, which made the experience even more valuable. Having worked with several mentors, I can confidently say that Mohamed is exceptional. He goes beyond just providing answers; he shares his contextual wisdom on the subject, teaching you the underlying principles. This approach enables you to eventually answer the questions you had at the start, empowering you with the knowledge to think critically and independently.

The best mentor you could ask for, Eng. Mohamed is not only an expert in the technical field but also a guide who supports you in every aspect of growth. A conversation with him is guaranteed to leave you with valuable insights and actionable tips. He truly goes above and beyond to help others succeed.

I had the privilege of working with Moshrif for a career strategy session, and his insights are exceptional. With his background across multiple FAANG and similar companies, from developer roles to senior staff engineering management, Moshrif’s depth of experience is immense. What sets him apart is his integration of technical system design expertise with an understanding of the behavioral qualities that make a great engineer. Moshrif’s guidance is like using Google Maps: he shows you a clear path to your career goals, but it’s up to you to take the steps. His approach isn’t magic, but with structure and direction, success becomes much more attainable. In our session, Moshrif asked thoughtful questions to understand my background and goals. This made me feel heard and allowed me to provide a clear picture of where I stand. His ability to listen attentively and only interject with purpose created a collaborative tone. One of his most valuable insights was a shift in perspective—seeing system design as akin to assembling Lego pieces, not an overwhelming deep dive into technologies. He also offered specific, actionable advice on developing senior-level skills, including becoming a force multiplier, using the Eisenhower Matrix, and delegating work effectively. His suggestions were practical and tailored to my career trajectory. Additionally, Moshrif suggested a mock interview to conduct a gap analysis, which I plan to do through his mentorship package. I would, however, recommend that Moshrif consider offering a career strategy + mock interview package to enhance his personalized career planning. Overall, Moshrif is not just a career coach—he’s a mentor who combines technical expertise with thoughtful strategies. If you’re looking to elevate your career, gain actionable insights, and navigate senior-level engineering roles, I highly recommend working with him.

Mohamad is a friendly great engineer with extensive experience, he is also a great listener and analyzer. Mohamad highlighted an important aspect for my current career challenge I have never seen, he gave great tips for leadership & mentoring juniors and how to be more valuable as senior software engineer for any company. I hope I will get more tips and clues to be more successful in my career during this mentorship journey :)

I’m pleased with my first mentorship session with Eng. Moshrif. He’s an excellent listener, attentive to my thoughts and ideas. Thanks to his extensive experience, he was able to point out some obvious aspects that were unclear to me. We discussed my career goals and current challenges, and based on that, he suggested actionable steps to track my progress in future sessions. I’m excited about the next sessions and eager to see the results of this mentorship journey :)
