About me

From on-premises infrastructure to Multi-Cloud Architect

I started my career in on-premises infrastructure — Windows Server and Active Directory, where I earned my MCSA. From there I moved into SharePoint, then Microsoft 365, and finally into cloud and enterprise architecture.

Along the way I worked as a Senior Solutions Architect at KlayyTech, a Microsoft distributor — responsible for pre-sales, project delivery and post-sales technical support for Microsoft 365, Azure and Security solutions. Today I work as a Senior Cloud Architect at a global multinational company, focused on multi-cloud and enterprise architecture.

Outside of work, I lead the Egypt Azure Community, mentor engineers, and have been blogging about Microsoft and cloud technologies since 2009.
