Software Engineer

About

I experienced how hard building a great team and a great product Customers love and want. I witnessed how hard to build a category that can really change the world. Without a doubt, this will foster greatly my product & engineering thinking in my next adventure.

During my recent years, learning how to scale a SaaS Platform, building a great startup, finding awesome people to work and serving to great retails in the UK and US have been added as indispensable assets to my career and experience.

Moreover, I have had a chance working at scale and building software for more than 100M monthly active users in search, marketplace and travel industry reaching more than 32 markets.

In addition, helping customers solve complex software engineering problems by extending software engineering and operational excellence practices, delivering robust and operationally ready software solutions using cloud native software development techniques at big scale financial software designs end to end strengthen my vision and capabilities at enterprise level.

I’m always keen to reflect all these hard gained experiences in my next role to the team via a mentor-mentor relationship with fellow engineers, designers, product managers, leaders and of course to the customers.

Currently, I’m working in a global engineering organization that works directly with the largest companies and not-for-profits in the world to tackle their most significant technical challenges at Microsoft.
