Summary
Hatem Saadallah is a software engineer based in Milan with nine years of hands-on experience building full-stack and backend systems across startups and scale-ups. He has held founding and senior engineering roles—most recently as Founding Lead Engineer at SellAbroad—and shipped production software at companies like Dash, nsave, and BitLab. His background blends a formal AI master's from Bocconi with practical engineering, teaching, and community leadership experience from Code for Palestine and youth tech programs. Hatem repeatedly steps into roles that require both technical delivery and people-facing coordination, having run large youth hubs and served as a technical supervisor. Colleagues describe him as a problem-solver who enjoys building things end-to-end and smoothing cross-cultural communication barriers. That combination of product-minded engineering and community facilitation makes him effective at turning ambiguous requirements into working systems.
