Senior🎓
Top SchoolHossam Saraya is a serial founder and hands-on CTO with over a decade of product and engineering leadership, now based in Germany and currently co-founding Nick AI while running CloudRiver and KEOM Protocol. He blends deep web2 experience—scaling consumer platforms, real-time infrastructure, CI/CD and UX design—with advanced web3 and blockchain expertise, having built DeFi lending primitives, audited smart contracts, and led compliant protocol operations. Hossam has repeatedly taken products from concept to full-stack production, designing resilient AWS/Kubernetes systems and automating monitoring and security across multi-service architectures. His background spans leading teams at high-growth startups (ILLA reached a $40M valuation) to hands-on roles building frontends, scrapers, and backend services, showing both strategic vision and executional grit. Known on GitHub as a "free builder," he favors pragmatic, performant solutions and often drives hiring, SDLC enforcement, and cross-discipline collaboration himself. That combination of operator mindset, blockchain fluency, and product-first engineering makes him effective at turning complex domains into reliable, user-centered systems.
