Senior🎓
Top SchoolThomas Said is a Senior Software Engineer based in Cairo with 7 years of experience building backend systems, cloud infrastructure, and ML-enabled products for startups and health-tech. He has led architecture and engineering across companies from founding engineer to CTO, driving high-availability microservices, CI/CD automation, and cloud migrations that cut costs and sped releases. Notable wins include architecting a text-to-video product that helped secure $5.5M in funding, a therapist-matching algorithm that raised matching success to 76%, and AWS/GCP restructures that halved costs or tripled revenues through new services. He blends hands-on Python/Django and serverless work with ML integrations (Hugging Face, LLaMA, ChatGPT, Midjourney) to ship generative features and summarization pipelines. Comfortable leading small cross-functional teams, Thomas often pairs product-driven engineering with practical DevOps to move prototypes to production quickly. His background as a founder and YC-alum collaborator gives him a pragmatic sense for product-market fit alongside deep technical ownership.
