What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me and allows for professional growth in Agile practices.

I am a dedicated Senior Scrum Master with a strong background in Agile methodologies and a passion for fostering high-performing teams. With over a decade of experience in the tech industry, I have successfully led Agile transformations and coached teams to achieve their maximum potential. My journey began with a degree in Information Systems from Ainshams University, and I have since accumulated a wealth of knowledge through various roles, including Engineering Manager and Team Lead.

Throughout my career, I have been instrumental in implementing Agile practices across multiple organizations, including Authority Partners and Instabug. My expertise lies in facilitating Agile ceremonies, coaching teams on self-management, and promoting a culture of continuous improvement. I take pride in my ability to remove impediments and manage interdependencies, ensuring that teams can deliver high-quality products on time. My certifications, including ICAgile Certified Professional and multiple Scrum Master credentials, further validate my commitment to excellence in Agile practices.
