About

Hey there! 👋

I'm Milad Ezzat – a passionate Software Engineer from Cairo, Egypt, who transforms complex problems into elegant solutions (powered by copious amounts of coffee ☕). Currently leading the engineering team at Sakneen as Head of Engineers, I architect scalable real estate platforms and build systems that don't just work—they thrive under pressure.

What Gets Me Excited 🚀

I'm obsessed with building full-stack applications that don't just work – they fly. From designing scalable REST APIs with NestJS to managing cloud infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform with Kubernetes, I thrive on creating end-to-end solutions that make a real impact.

I'm that person who gets genuinely excited about optimizing MongoDB queries for performance, implementing CI/CD pipelines that actually work, and collaborating across teams to align technical requirements with business goals. If there's a technical challenge involving microservices, agile planning, or complex database schemas, I'm probably already sketching solutions.
