Senior🎓
Top SchoolMostafa Okasha is a software engineer with nine years of experience building scalable systems, currently contributing to Meta while founding MapSight, a geospatial analytics web app for location optimization. He combines applied ML and RLHF experience—having helped train Google Gemini features—with deep backend expertise in Python, Java, C++ and large-scale cloud deployments from his Capital One work that cut fraud losses by millions annually. At GCRI he leads a Global Risks Index project applying supervised and reinforcement learning to forecast crises, showing a rare blend of product-minded research and production engineering. He’s comfortable jumping between languages and frameworks (recently C#, PHP, Ruby, Kotlin, Dart, Swift) and mentoring teams on LLM evaluation and onboarding. Driven to create high-value, low-cost tools for broad distribution, he pairings technical rigor with a collaborative, impact-first ethos. An often-overlooked strength: he has repeatedly converted experimental research into production systems with measurable business outcomes.
