Top SchoolAmged Rustom is a lead developer and software architect based in Dubai with 13 years of professional experience designing embedded Linux systems and smart-home platforms. He currently leads smart-home feature development and hardware integrations at DAMAC Properties, blending hands-on coding with vendor coordination and end-to-end validation. Previously he built a custom Linux distribution, CI/CD pipelines, and automated OTA firmware rollouts at Estia Software, and earlier delivered payment gateways, PCI-compliant backends, and IoT-enabled HR systems. His strengths lie in bridging embedded Linux, cloud integrations, and manufacturing tooling—such as a bmaptool-driven imaging utility—to accelerate time-to-market and improve reliability.

Outside the obvious, he combines low-level embedded expertise with full-stack service design, making him effective both as a coder and as the principal liaison to hardware partners.
