About - Mohamed El Sayed

Hello, I'm Mohamed

I'm a Software professional with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science specializing in Big Data Systems. I help teams turn messy data into dashboards, forecasts, and decisions by owning pipelines end-to-end.

Hands-on with Python, SQL, Apache Spark/Databricks, and machine learning, I've shipped projects from NYC taxi analytics to COVID-19 vaccination insights and operational dashboards. I focus on reliability, performance, and telling the story in the numbers.

AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate (SAA-C03) and AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner. Actively interviewing for data engineering, analytics engineering, and BI roles where I can build impactful data products.
