Hello, I'm
Waleed Saleh
Technical Project Manager
16+ years building and leading technology teams across the Middle East — delivering cloud architecture, DevOps automation, and digital transformation at scale.
About Me
I specialize in joining complex, fast-moving environments where cloud architecture, DevOps automation, and product delivery need to scale quickly. Over 16+ years, I've built and led engineering teams across Saudi Arabia and Sudan, delivering measurable results within short, high-impact cycles.
My career spans the full spectrum — from writing Android OS customizations and building secure VoIP systems in C++, to architecting AWS EKS infrastructure and managing cross-functional teams at organizations like Atos and ZATCA. This technical depth allows me to bridge the gap between strategy and execution.
Today, I focus on AI-driven digital transformation, cloud migration, and building the processes that help teams deliver exceptional software at scale in Government and FinTech sectors.
