What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and opportunities for growth.

I am an experienced Backend and Infrastructure Engineer with over 9 years of expertise in building scalable, fault-tolerant, cloud-native systems. My specialization lies in backend development using Golang, and I have extensive experience with AWS services, Kubernetes, and distributed architectures. I excel in the full engineering lifecycle, from service design and implementation to CI/CD, monitoring, and incident response. My proven ability to collaborate across teams has enabled me to solve complex reliability challenges at scale.

In my recent role as a Senior Software Engineer at LocAI, I designed and developed backend systems for ML-driven Arabic NLP use cases, focusing on architectural direction and modular service layout. My previous experience as a Senior Site Reliability Engineer at VistaCreate allowed me to contribute significantly to the production lifecycle, reducing downtime by 60% and improving recovery time by 40% through standardized practices. I have also led cross-functional engineering teams, driving technical improvements and ensuring high system reliability.
