Mohamed Ashraf Roshdy

Mohamed Ashraf is a seasoned software and DevOps engineer who sits at the intersection of backend development, cloud infrastructure, and automation. He is currently a Senior Software Engineer at WeTravel and Lead DevOps Engineer at Humanform.ai, where he focuses on building reliable, observable, and highly automated platforms that support demanding real world products.

With more than six years of experience, Mohamed has worked across fintech, travel, and SaaS, designing and operating systems that handle complex business logic and high throughput workloads. At Smily (formerly BookingSync), he led initiatives around Ruby on Rails backends, Kafka and RabbitMQ based event driven architectures, and accrual based accounting systems that significantly improved financial visibility and reduced operational overhead. He has consistently driven measurable impact, from increasing payment conversion and customer support efficiency to cutting CI pipeline time and cost through smarter parallelisation and resource usage.

Previously at WebOps, Mohamed served as both Backend Team Lead and Technical Lead, orchestrating the transformation of business requirements for multiple clients into production grade platforms. He architected shared Kubernetes based infrastructure on DigitalOcean to host dozens of services, and introduced modern monitoring and analytics stacks with Elasticsearch, Kibana, InfluxDB, Grafana, and AppSignal, which sharply reduced detection and response time for infrastructure and application issues. He also championed organisation wide practices such as twelve factor app principles, improved CI and deployment pipelines, and company wide access control through Keycloak.

As Lead DevOps Engineer at Plural.com earlier in his career, Mohamed designed and implemented production infrastructure on AWS and Kubernetes using infrastructure as code, and built internal tooling that made managing clusters, manifests, and onboarding far more efficient. Alongside this, he contributed directly to backend features in Node.js, PostgreSQL, Neo4j, and Elasticsearch, including location based search, messaging, and recommendation systems, which gives him an unusually deep understanding of both platform and product layers.

Mohamed holds a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering from the German University in Cairo. Colleagues know him as a quick learner, highly dependable, and deeply adaptable, someone who can move comfortably between strategic architecture, hands on implementation, and mentoring junior engineers. Whether he is tuning CI pipelines, refining Kubernetes clusters, or helping design new features, his work is guided by a consistent theme: use automation, observability, and thoughtful engineering to make complex systems behave simply and reliably.
