What my colleagues say about me

Javier - Lead Software Engineer at PLT

I had the pleasure of working with Omar as his Lead Dev, and I can say that he has been an exceptional asset to our team. Omar is not only highly skilled but also an excellent communicator, which makes him a reliable and effective team member.

One of Omar's qualities is the will to help. Whether it was supporting team members with complex tasks or jumping in to troubleshoot issues, he is always ready to lend a hand. His positive attitude made him a true team player, contributing significantly to our team's success.

Salman Khalid - Senior Software Engineer at PLT

Have the pleasure of working with Omar for over one year. Omar is a very hardworking and good software engineer with very good understanding of back end system design and implementation. I highly recommend Omar for companies looking for talented engineers.

Michael - Principal Lead Software Engineer at PLT

Omar was valued member of the Ops & Logs tribe at PLT for some time. He showed us consistently that when given a task, he would forge ahead until it's complete. I've been able to trust him with key components of both major refactors and feature implementations across a range of our services.

While Omar was on my tribe, he would regularly come to me with improvements he thought we could make with our codebases. While other priorities meant we couldn't always implement these ideas, they were always well thought out and evidenced.

Omar is an impressive software engineer in his own right and any team he's on is lucky to have him.

Laurence - Senior Software Engineer at PLT

Omar was on my team at PrettyLittleThing through Boohoo for over a year and significantly contributed to building and improving backend warehouse-based systems, including large integrations with new third parties using AWS services.

He's proficient with TypeScript, and has the technological curiosity of a good engineer to want to get a deep understanding of how a system works.

Gibran - Delivery Lead at Electrolux

Omar is an invaluable backend developer. I worked with him on a major project at Tintash in NodeJS. He delivered clean code with simple solutions to complex problems. He has a good understanding of JS and TS and would be a great addition to any team that works with NodeJS in their backend stack.

Abdul Saboor - Senior QA Engineer at Tintash

I had great memories working with Omar on Swvl for almost 9-10 months. Omar is a very proactive and highly sound engineer and his coding, and communication skills stand at the top. Omar takes feedback and criticism very positively and never gave up unless he incorporates all that. He is always up for anything you throw at him and you will be surprised by his technical and on-point answers.

Hamd - Software Engineer at Tintash

Omar is very hardworking and extremely talented guy. His RnD skills to determine not only the correct solution but to identify the most efficient as well most professionally written one is hands down one of his best traits. The attention to detail he takes over his work is marvelous.
Overall one of the best, most humble and skillful person I had the pleasure to work with!

Usama - Senior Automation Engineer at Zyte

We worked together in the same squad for Swvl and found Omar to be proactive, technically sound and very fun to work with! Working with Omar has been a wonderful experience and hoping to cross paths as well in the future.

.. and a bunch more on my LinkedIn.
