Since 2017 I have been turning strained, expensive software into fast, reliable, cost-efficient systems. Deep engineering, an MBA, and a habit of tying every technical decision back to the business.
Since 2017 I've worked at the intersection of engineering and business: leading backend teams, modernizing legacy systems, and making sure the technology actually moves the numbers it's supposed to move.
My work runs from hands-on architecture (microservices, multi-cloud, performance) to the parts nobody sees on a resume: coaching engineers, aligning teams, and turning vague business goals into systems that ship. The MBA wasn't a detour; it's why I can sit in either room and be useful.
I also speak regularly at AWS Community Days, GDG DevFests and universities across Lebanon, on scalable systems, the cloud, and how large AI models actually work. See where I've spoken →
A few systems I've owned, what was actually wrong with them, and what changed after.
Whether it's a full-time seat or a focused engagement, this is the work I do best.
Breaking monoliths into microservices, refactoring legacy code, and running cloud migrations that don't take the business offline.
Finding the six-figure waste in your cloud bill and the seconds hiding in your APIs, then engineering both of them out.
Building and coaching backend teams, setting architecture direction, and translating business goals into what actually gets shipped.
30 countries across the Middle East, Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas.
Leading backend for a food-delivery platform through its microservices era.
Solution architect for a delivery-management SaaS; owned the AWS migration.
Led multiple units; built medical and data-management products from zero.
Owned the delivery-management system through record-breaking sales campaigns.
Learned to speak the language of the business, not just the codebase.
Plus a wall of programming-competition placements along the way.
Mhamad is one of the fastest learners I have ever met in the software engineering field.
A dedicated software engineer, very eager to learn and develop his skills.
So exceptional that he was able to exceed all my expectations.
