Building platforms, systems, and companies that scale.

About

Enterprise Architect with cross-domain expertise spanning Internal Developer Platforms, cloud-native infrastructure, and system design. I lead large-scale technology transformations - platform modernization, CI/CD overhauls, database migrations - helping organizations ship faster and operate more reliably.

Currently building enterprise Knowledge Graphs (Neo4j) that serve as structured context layers for AI agents, powering service discovery and automated workflows. Equally interested in the systems that run the business and the ones I build outside of it.

Egyptian-American, grew up between the US and Egypt. Based in Dallas, TX.
