Nazeh Abel

Senior software engineer with 8+ years building production web applications, cloud-native services, and AI-powered systems across government, finance, telecoms, and large digital platforms.

I set technical direction, own architectural decisions and their consequences, and raise the engineering standard of the teams I work in — full stack across Python and TypeScript, with deep production experience in RAG pipelines, agentic workflows, and LLM orchestration.

I have defined CI/CD and engineering standards adopted beyond my own team, mentored engineers at every level, and directed technical strategy as interim CTO — while still writing code on the hardest parts of the problem.
