Mohammad AbouElSherbini
Possessing five years of experience in software engineering, augmented by participation in ICPC hackathons, I focus intently on problem-solving to design efficient solutions. My goal is to develop sophisticated systems continuously while enhancing my skills.
About Me
I'm a backend engineer with 5+ years of experience building scalable, fault-tolerant systems. I specialize in distributed architecture, CI/CD pipelines, container orchestration, and system performance optimization.
I'm currently pursuing my Master's in Computer Engineering, with a focus on backend systems, microservices, and serverless architecture. I’m also an ICPC veteran, with a strong foundation in algorithms and problem solving.
Outside of work, I run a homelab with Proxmox, Docker, and K3s to simulate production-grade infrastructure. If you're into systems, devops, or low-latency API design — we’ll probably get along.
