About Mohamed

I help organizations transform ambitious ideas into reliable, high-performing digital products.
My approach is centered on delivering sustainable value—not just by writing code, but by designing systems and processes that empower teams to grow alongside their technology.
I offer a unique blend of deep technical expertise and strategic leadership.
Whether you are a startup needing a solid architectural foundation or an established enterprise looking to migrate critical systems to a modern, multi-tenant infrastructure, I bring the "big picture" perspective required for success.
What sets me apart is my dual-track career path. I have served as both a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer and an Engineering Manager at Booking.com, one of the world’s largest e-commerce platforms. This means I understand the "how" and the "why" of every project. I am equally comfortable designing a high-criticality Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) as I am leading a team through a complex Agile transformation or building a multi-year technical roadmap.
My background also includes five years at Siemens Digital Industries Software, where I contributed to the Eclipse C/C++ Development Tools (CDT) and co-authored work for EclipseCon. This foundation in low-level systems and IDE development has given me a disciplined approach to software craftsmanship that I apply to modern web technologies today.
