At Fawry Banking &PaymentTechnology Services, I designed and rolled out an automated merchant settlement pipeline using SFTP listeners and custom services, eliminating 1–2 hours of daily manual processing. I also developed a Python GUI application to automate operational batch creation.

Across Fawry, Agricultural BankofEgypt, and HSBC Bank, I’ve worked on payment settlements, Finacle migration testing, and ATM reconciliation. I’ve also built FinOpsJobDiscovery Engine, a self-hosted job-matching project using Python, Docker, PostgreSQL 16, and n8n.
