Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMohamed Bassem is a software engineer with 12 years of experience specializing in distributed systems and full‑stack development, currently working on LogDevice at Meta. He blends backend expertise—contributing to storage, replication and testing for large-scale log systems—with hands-on frontend work, building user-friendly interfaces and auth flows for projects like a self-hostable Hoarder app and Next.js Shopify storefronts. His background includes SRE and tooling work at Google and practical performance and CI improvements from earlier roles, reflecting a strong focus on reliability and developer productivity. Comfortable across Go, TypeScript and modern web stacks (NextAuth, Tailwind, shadcn), he moves between low-level systems changes and product-facing UI features. Notably, he contributes integration tests and observability fixes to complex distributed codebases, showing an emphasis on correctness as much as feature delivery. Based in Milton Keynes, he combines enterprise-scale engineering at Meta with active open-source contributions that bridge infra and UX.
