@alaasaadmansour
I build cloud-native platforms and AI developer tools that improve delivery speed, reliability, and developer productivity.
What I'm looking for
At ThoughtWorks, I lead delivery of cloud-native platforms and AI developer enablement products used across 13 engineering teams and 150+ developers. I standardised AI-assisted delivery through a golden .claude/ repository template, MCP integrations, lifecycle hooks, specialist subagents, and governance controls.
I’ve built self-service AWS EKS platforms that provision staging environments in under 10 minutes, cut deployment times from days to hours, and reduced feature delivery time by about 30%. I also reduced cloud costs by about 25% with Terraform-driven rightsizing and lifecycle automation.
I design reliable distributed systems with Kafka and RabbitMQ, including integrations with 60+ third-party payment and settlement systems. My work spans Kotlin, Spring Boot, React, TypeScript, Python, RAG assistants, OpenSearch vector search, observability, and technical leadership for cross-functional teams.
