Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolOmar Balih is a software engineer specializing in site reliability and high-performance systems with eight years of experience across Google Cloud Storage, AWS CloudWatch, and performance-critical roles at Incorta. He brings deep C++ and systems-level expertise, honed by building a game engine, level editor, software renderer with a SIMD library that nearly doubled FPS, and kernel-level work on XINU. At Incorta he accelerated engine load times ~3x, implemented a logging framework that shrank logs and sped debugging, and cut external service costs by 30x through fewer filesystem calls. He has production experience in distributed cloud services and observability at AWS and now SRE work at Google, combining hands-on optimization with reliability engineering. Based in Dublin and grounded in a Computer & Communications Engineering degree from Alexandria University, he enjoys tackling system-design puzzles where performance and correctness intersect. An atypical background in graphics and embedded/OS projects gives him a unique perspective on low-level tradeoffs in large-scale cloud systems.
