Senior🎓
Top SchoolMostafa Farrag is a software engineering leader with eight years of experience building and modernizing geospatial and hydrodynamic tooling for research and operational use, currently leading the Tooling Team for Hydrodynamics & Morphology at Deltares. He combines deep hydroinformatics domain knowledge—MSc in Hydroinformatics and MSCA-funded PhD research on large-scale flood risk modeling—with hands-on expertise in Python, Fortran, CUDA, CI/CD, containerization and HPC deployments. Mostafa has a strong track record automating large-scale raster and ETL pipelines, integrating cloud services and Google Earth Engine, and shipping microservices and web-mapping apps in production. He has modernized legacy scientific codebases (DE LWAQ/Delft3D), implemented automated testing and build pipelines, and contributes to community build automation work like conda-forge staged-recipes. Colleagues value his ability to translate complex hydrodynamic science into robust, scalable software ecosystems that serve both researchers and practitioners.
