Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolYoussef Elwakil is a Melbourne-based software engineer with seven years of hands-on experience building cloud-native systems, currently engineering at Xero after roles at ASB Bank and IQVIA. He blends infrastructure-as-code (Terraform), serverless (AWS Lambda), and CI/CD automation (GitHub Actions, TeamCity, Azure Pipelines) to deliver reliable, monitored services and improved developer velocity. As founder of Hasalam he designed end-to-end web and mobile products (Next.js, React Native, Node.js) and launched AI-powered seller tools while tackling global payments and compliance challenges. His background includes applied ML work—shipping device-to-cloud pipelines and fruit-detection models—so he comfortably spans data, backend APIs, and production ML integration. Notably, he’s built pragmatic gRPC and containerized solutions to bridge legacy and modern stacks, and often pairs observability (New Relic, CloudWatch) with proactive automation. He holds First Class Honours in Computer Software Engineering from the University of Waikato and brings an entrepreneurial mindset to product-focused engineering.
