What I'm looking for

Seeking a dynamic environment where I can leverage my expertise in Python and cloud technologies to contribute to innovative projects and collaborate with talented teams to deliver impactful solutions.

As a Senior Software Engineer with 7 years of experience, I specialize in building scalable web and mobile applications using Python, Django, and modern technologies. My expertise includes designing and implementing microservices, migrating codebases, and leveraging cloud solutions to enhance system reliability and performance.

In my current role at OANDA, I have successfully decoupled a Flask microservice from a monolithic Django application, improving scalability and maintainability. I also led the migration from Python 2.7 to 3.11 and implemented Redis caching to prevent duplicate transaction processing.

Previously, at Paymob, I managed the wallets backend team, conducted code reviews, and ensured PCI compliance. My contributions have empowered businesses in the MENA region's e-commerce landscape, providing robust backend solutions and user-friendly platforms.
