Blog about front-end development and the web

About

Hi, I'm Ahmad El-Alfy, a seasoned software engineer with over 20 years of experience in the tech industry. Based in Cairo, Egypt, I’ve had a passion for the web since childhood. After studying and practicing surgery, I took a bold leap to follow my true calling: building fast, beautiful, and innovative web experiences. I specialize in HTML, performance optimization, and cutting-edge web technologies.

Currently, I serve as the CTO at Robusta Technology Group, where I lead efforts to create impactful digital solutions and manage high-performing tech teams. In 2023, I was honored to become a Google Developer Expert (GDE) in Web Technologies and UI, a recognition of my contributions to the field.

I’m deeply involved in the tech community as a moderator for several technology groups in Egypt and a co-host of EgyptJS, a monthly JavaScript meetup in Cairo. I also share my knowledge by teaching front-end development at various venues. Known for my engaging style, I enjoy breaking down complex topics for audiences of all levels, making technology accessible and relatable.

You can connect with me on LinkedIn, Twitter, or Facebook. Check out my work on GitHub, Stack Overflow, and Speakerdeck. When I’m not coding, I’m spending time with my kids, battling it out in StarCraft 2, or exploring the latest memes.
