How have you been involved in the Magento ecosystem?
I’ve been actively working with Magento 2 for several years as a solution architect and developer. I lead multi-website projects, customize modules, and help build scalable and secure e-commerce solutions. My focus is always on performance, clean architecture, and best practices across backend, frontend, and mobile apps. I hold the Adobe Commerce Subject Matter Expert (SME) badge and stay engaged with the Magento community through LinkedIn discussions, sharing insights, and learning from other professionals in the ecosystem.
In what ways have you contributed to the Magento Association and/or other non-profit communities?
First time.
What value would you add to the Board to help us advance our mission?
I believe I can bring valuable representation and insights from the MENA region, which remains an underrepresented but fast-growing e-commerce market. With my hands-on experience leading Adobe Commerce projects across the region, I understand the unique challenges and opportunities merchants and developers face here .
What are the top 3 initiatives you want to see the Board accomplish in the next 6 months?
- Promote Magento as a data-driven e-commerce platform through modern data pipelines.
- Launch community and developer events across the MENA region.
- Support ready-to-launch Magento-integrated products like a production-ready iOS mobile app.
What initiatives do you want to see the Magento Association focus on in the coming years?
Expanding membership tiers and increasing the value of benefits offered to members — to better serve the diversity of developers, agencies, and merchants across different regions and business sizes.
What are the biggest challenges that you think the Association has faced and how would you approach them?
One of the biggest challenges is sustainable funding. I believe this can be addressed by expanding and diversifying membership options to be more inclusive of different regions, company sizes, and professional levels — making it easier for a wider audience to engage and contribute meaningfully to the community.
What else would you like to share to either the Election Committee or the membership of the Magento Association as they review your application? What makes you a great candidate to join the Board of Directors?
I bring real-world experience, a strong connection to the MENA region, and a desire to make the community more inclusive and impactful for everyone.
