Bio
Francois Gouelo
I worked with Ali El-Shayeb on the Amplify Project of the Summer of 2017. It is rare to come across a standout like Ali. He is a dedicated and hard working individual with a passion to solve problems. If you have the chance of working night and day with him, you will see that he is not the type of person to abandon any endeavour but rather the type to persevere - finding innovative ways of countering problems, while always explaining every step of his thinking process in a clear and effective way. He is a leader, and a team player, and I highly recommend him for leadership type positions in the tech space.

I had a great pleasure having Ali as part of my team because of his entrepreneurial attitude towards his areas of responsibilities, proactive thinking and very innovative mindset. He provides great energy to team and sets the example for other peers in term of dedication and hard work.
