I am an engineering leader with 15 years of experience in the software engineering industry.
From Egypt, but been living in Austria for the past 10 years, working in managerial roles for adidas Runtastic and Bitpanda among others.
Joined Journi last year to help build and grow the engineering team (we are hiring 😀 ). Feel free to approach me to talk about the company or our plans.
When I am not speaking about technology or product development, you will find me speaking about football or playing it. And if I am back in Egypt, you will almost always find me by the sea, and often 20 meters deep in it.
