Summary
Adel Farid is a Principal Enterprise Architect with over three decades of experience designing and delivering mission-critical, high-volume payment systems for global brands like Mastercard and VISA. He blends hands-on technical depth in BASE24, Tandem, C++, .NET and modern cloud-native stacks (Azure, AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform) with proven leadership of independent work streams and enterprise architecture at scale. His background spans legacy transactional platforms through to modern observability and ML tooling (Splunk, Dynatrace, Python, scikit-learn), enabling pragmatic migration and resilience strategies. Based in Lake Saint Louis, he pairs an MBA and machine-learning nanodegree with a strong foundation from Alexandria University, reflecting both business acumen and continuous technical learning. Uncommonly for an enterprise architect, he also publishes open-source crypto payments work—an Egypt Coin SCRYPT network—demonstrating curiosity about decentralized payments alongside large-bank incumbents.
