Hi, I’m Amr 👋
I build elegant solutions to complex problems.
I’m a UK-based product-focused full-stack engineer with over 7 years of experience delivering business solutions and managing teams.
I'm currently a staff software engineer at Cur8 Capital, a fin-tech startup that's building an investment platform to enable easy access to Sharia-compliant private equity investments.
Before that, I was a founding engineer at Tempo, a Silicon Valley-based startup building an AI-powered home fitness app. Over 5 years, I helped scale the company to over 250+ employees and we raised over $360m in funding.
Prior to that, I worked in various fields as a consultant/contractor, as well as embedded software engineering for a large automotive company.
Good engineers can write elegant code, great engineers can solve complex problems, and exceptional engineers can manage complexity at scale while effectively communicating across an organization. Amr is one of these rare exceptional engineers …
… he maintains a humility and appreciation to learn that allows him to both think big picture and collaborate elegantly with stakeholders.
Amr is a fantastic engineer who has the ability to understand business value. If you are an entrepreneur, you will love bouncing ideas off of Amr. He communicates well and is confident enough to give you feedback on how to achieve your goals quicker and cheaper. I would hire him again in a heartbeat.
… In addition to his excellent collaboration skills, Amr is an extremely diligent Engineer with a high bar for quality and completeness. When Amr took on a project, he considered it from all perspectives to ensure he would make the best decisions. He inspired his team to do their best, and this very clearly showed in his strong results across multiple projects.
How can we work together?
Projects
I enjoy applying my engineering skills to real-life problems. It’s also an opportunity to explore new technologies and showcase my work (given that many of the projects I work on are covered by NDAs 😅). Here are a couple of examples:
Lunch Flow: Connect EU & UK banks to Google Sheets & Lunch Money
Streamline personal finance by allowing people to have an up-to-date view of all their accounts in a single place.
I'm the solo founder behind this, and within a few months of launching, we're managing over 400 bank accounts!
