What industry professionals are saying about me

Satisfaction is not enough; admiration is strived for Quality, Recommendations, On-time delivery, Value, Service, Attitude.

Mohamed Salman joined us at a time of fast growth in our product engineering team and at a time when ONEGCC's data infrastructure was under incredible pressure from growing traffic, users, etc. He provided strong leadership at a critical point in the team's history of transitioning from a monolithic software platform to a microservices architecture, built a great team, delivered a highly-complex roadmap and deployed a bunch of mission critical technology for the company by leveraging AWS (Amazon Web Services). In addition to having devoted a ton of his time and energy helping his team realize their professional goals as well delivering value for ONEGCC, Salman had excellent rapport with our engineering and design teams, passion for our product, a great affinity for our users, and the right blend of skills to get good work done in a fast-moving environment.

CTO, Capacitee Employment Solutions W.L.L.

It was fantastic to work with Mohmed for a GCC National Digital Recruitment Platform project . He managed and developed a Employment Management software according to the latest AWS cloud computing which is now the most widely used in the GCC. He brings his breadth of experience to every task he takes on and is relentless in achieving quality results, He knows how to architect a solution to give high levels of productivity with strong cloud computing aspects. Mohammed is the Lead and head engineer on that project. The results speak for themselves. Words like "proactive" can be thrown around too easily in business, but without Mohamed's suggestions, responsiveness, adaptability and "can do" attitude the project would never have been the success that it was. Overall, a real asset to the engineering team and a he's a fun gentlemen to work with.

As a self-motivated and very innovative thinker, Mohamed Salman has been a great asset to Alarab News Channel as a web designer/developer. Mohamed started in a mid-level developer, and he soon climbs to be promoted as a senior online developer, and it well deserved! He was viewed very favourable by both his co-workers as well as management for his logical mind and his ability to quickly solve problems in very creative and efficient ways. He truly possesses the mind of a developer and designer and is constantly looking for ways to improve. His mastery of coding and developing is truly impressive, and he was the driving force behind the designing and developing the channel’s unique website. Mohamed is a competent and well-liked team player, and he is a versatile individual that can serve in many different roles. He has proven himself capable in development and design, as well as quality control and management. I managed Mohamed for almost three years. However, I still working with him on an ad-hoc basis since we both left the company. I highly recommend him; he is a great asset to any company.
