About Me

Technical Solutions Engineer who ships AWS/Terraform platforms, CI/CD automation, and data pipelines that support production teams.

Mohamed El Sayed

Hello, I'm Mohamed

Technical Solutions Engineer with AWS Solutions Architect - Associate and HashiCorp Terraform Associate certifications.

I build and operate cloud foundations on AWS with IAM-first design, S3/CloudFront delivery, and serverless APIs powered by API Gateway + Lambda + SES.

Design CI/CD with GitHub Actions and Terraform modules so teams can ship updates in minutes with repeatable plan/apply workflows.

Experienced with data engineering pipelines using PySpark, Redshift Spectrum, and Lake Formation to centralize analytics securely.

Comfortable working across product, business, and client stakeholders to translate requirements into resilient systems.

Actively targeting Cloud/DevOps Engineer, Data Engineer, and Technical Solutions Engineer roles where I can own delivery end to end.
