Hi, I'm Mohamed Akef 👋

👨‍💻 About me

I'm a Senior Engineering Manager. I build and scale engineering organizations from zero — hiring, career ladders and an async, remote-first culture — while staying hands-on with architecture: microservices, event-driven systems and platform engineering.

  • 🧑‍💻 Hands-on with Go and distributed, event-driven systems.
  • 🛠️ Focused on platform engineering & developer experience — reliability, delivery standards and shorter feedback loops.
  • 🌍 15 years in software · 7+ leading distributed, multi-timezone teams — WUZZUF, Jumia, Sharwa, Taager.
  • 🧭 Scaled engineering orgs from seed to 10+ engineers; delivered 4× faster APIs under peak load and ~35% less operational toil through automation & re-architecture.
  • ⚖️ A self-taught engineer who began in law — range and first-principles thinking on hard problems.
  • 🎮 Based in Cairo, Egypt (GMT+2). Off the clock: gamer & cars enthusiast.
