About

I’m Mohamed Abbas, a cloud and data architect.

My work spans data architecture, cloud engineering and business intelligence. Over more than eight years, I’ve worked on data platforms and transformation projects across finance, e-commerce and telecom.

On AWS, that has meant working with services including Redshift, Aurora, Kinesis, Lambda and Glue: designing warehouses, building pipelines and making systems easier to operate.

Why I write

BuildWithAbbas is where I document what I build and the decisions behind it. I’m interested in the questions that come after the architecture diagram: how do you test a change, control access, understand a failure and decide whether another component is worth adding?

You’ll find projects with code, architecture walkthroughs and lessons from working with cloud data systems.

Background

I’m certified as an AWS Data Engineer and Solutions Architect. My focus is on data platforms, automation and the engineering decisions that make a design workable.
