Recommendations
What impressed me most was his transition into leadership. During a critical period, after a key DevOps engineer left unexpectedly, Mohamed stepped in and was promoted to Team Lead.
I had the opportunity to manage Mohamed at IBM while working as an Engineering Manager for the QRadar EDR product.
Mohamed consistently showed strong technical range across backend, frontend, AWS, OpenShift, CI and CD, and production delivery. He learned unfamiliar systems quickly, stayed calm during difficult situations, and took ownership of problems until they were resolved.
What impressed me most was his transition into leadership. During a critical period, after a key DevOps engineer left unexpectedly, Mohamed stepped in and was promoted to Team Lead. The odds were against him, because the team had lost important deployment knowledge and still had customer commitments to meet.
Despite this, he successfully led the team while remaining technically hands on. He coordinated the work, supported the engineers, learned the missing OpenShift knowledge, and helped the team deliver what stakeholders expected.
Mohamed proved that he could succeed both as a technical engineer and as a leader. I recommend him without hesitation.
He combines strong hands‑on skills with clear leadership: he dives into code and diagnostics himself, makes sound decisions under time pressure, and keeps the team aligned on priorities while handling sensitive customer situations with professionalism and empathy.

My first contact with Nasr Mohamed hedi was two years ago when he often asked me some technical questions without me being his teacher. I immediately realized that he is passionate about the web, and that's why he opted for the TWIN option (Web Technologies and Internet) to Esprit.

He analyzes his problems perfectly and is fully involved in them.it.
