Hi, I’m Abdelrahman Ismail.
I’ve spent over 12 years building large-scale software systems used by millions of people every day. Now, I share what I’ve learned with fellow developers and help them make the most of AI.
I’m a Software Engineer at CAVU, part of Manchester Airports Group. I create content and give talks about AI and technology, and I’m currently pursuing a Master’s degree in AI Engineering.
