AWS-certified Software Engineer and Cloud Engineer based in Alexandria, Egypt, with 3 years of hands-on experience building production-grade backend systems, provisioning cloud infrastructure, and shipping automated CI/CD pipelines.
My engineering approach is grounded in Clean Architecture, infrastructure as code, and DevOps discipline — I care about systems that are secure, maintainable, and built to scale. Whether designing a multi-domain REST API, codifying AWS environments in Terraform, or hardening backend security with JWT and RBAC, I focus on engineering quality over shortcuts.
- Currently completing internships at DEPI (Backend & DevOps) and NTI (Cloud Engineering)
- Building production systems with ASP.NET Core, AWS, and Terraform
- Deepening expertise in distributed systems, cloud-native architecture, and system design
- Open to backend engineering, cloud engineering, and DevOps opportunities — remote or hybrid
- B.Sc. Computer & Data Science, Alexandria University (Expected May 2027)

Designing clean, scalable REST APIs with ASP.NET Core and Entity Framework Core using Clean Architecture and SOLID principles. I've shipped 40+ endpoints across multi-domain production systems, enforced JWT/RBAC security, and optimized SQL Server schemas for high-throughput read paths.
Architecting production-grade AWS environments from the network layer up: VPC, subnets, route tables, security groups, IAM, EC2, RDS, S3, CloudWatch, Cognito. Committed to the AWS Well-Architected Framework for every deployment.
Codifying cloud infrastructure in reusable Terraform modules with remote state management. Delivered 20+ AWS resources as code, cutting environment provisioning time by 60% and eliminating manual drift.
Building GitHub Actions pipelines for multi-environment deployments — no manual release steps. Containerized applications with Docker, shipped zero-downtime releases, and automated full build-test-deploy flows.
Implementing production-hardened security: JWT authentication, OAuth2 (Google/GitHub), RBAC, AES-256 encryption, secrets management, IAM least-privilege, and NACLs across cloud workloads.

"Good engineering is invisible — it's the system that never goes down, the API that never surprises, the deployment that just works. The craft is in the details no one sees."
I'm open to backend engineering, cloud engineering, and DevOps opportunities — internships, remote roles, and freelance engagements.
