Mahfouz Alcheikh

"I had the pleasure of working directly with Mahfouz when we were at Focus21 together, and he was an outstanding Project Manager. Mahfouz is one of the most compassionate, hardworking, and quality-driven individuals I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with. His ability to balance business needs with technical feasibility was exceptional, and he always ensured that we delivered the best possible product. He was deeply invested in the success of the team, always listening, providing thoughtful insights, and pushing for excellence without compromising collaboration or morale. His leadership and attention to detail made a huge impact, and any team would be lucky to have him. I highly recommend Mahfouz to any organization looking for a dedicated and insightful PM who truly cares about both the product and the people behind it."

""An Engineering Maestro with a Heart of Gold" I've had the absolute privilege of working closely with Mahfouz for over three years now as he led our engineering team with an admirable blend of dedication, intelligence, and compassion. Our intertwined roles have seen us strive to align our teams, fostering a dynamic and cohesive work environment conducive to productivity and innovation. Mahfouz truly stands out for both his technical proficiency and his unparalleled human touch. His ceaseless determination to never back down from a challenge, paired with a relentless pursuit of knowledge, constantly elevates the quality of his work and inspires those around him. An admirable aspect that distinguishes Mahfouz is his determined effort to keep upskilling—his continuous side projects bear testimony to this. The knowledge he garners invariably trickles down to our team, fostering a culture of continuous learning. What makes Mahfouz amazing isn't just his ability to get the job done, but how he does it. His empathetic nature and genuine care for both the people and the business, make him more than just a team lead—he's a mentor, guide, and friend. His approachability, diplomacy, and ability to see the best in people foster a positive work environment. His courage to challenge the status quo, display vulnerability, and admit when he doesn't know something embody honesty and humility. Mahfouz, with his diligent and earnest nature, is an individual that I wholeheartedly recommend for any future endeavours. His unique combination of hard and soft skills is not just an asset to any organization, but a gift to the people he works with. I am confident that Mahfouz will continue to deliver incredible work, inspire others, and lead with kindness, courage, and wisdom wherever he goes."

"Mahfouz is a phenomenal software developer, leader and most importantly, a remarkable human being. I had the chance of working alongside Mahfouz on several projects for three years, and he always displayed the greatest humility, care and attention to detail in his work. He always goes above and beyond in any task he is given. He is a talented communicator, and a patient and supportive coach for his peers. He always proposes the best solutions and displays deep understanding and consideration for both business needs and the customer experience. He is an incredible team player and treats every single colleague with the utmost respect. Mahfouz would be an extremely valuable asset on any team, and I am deeply grateful for having had the chance to cross his path."

"Mahfouz is one of the most committed and applied persons I have ever worked with, he goes far beyond his duties and responsibilities to ensure that the project will be delivered on time. It was an honor to have met him and had the opportunity to work with such friendly, smart and hard working person!"

"Mahfouz is caring, personable and a skilled software developer. During my time as CTO at Focus21, he never once backed down from a challenge, but instead, took many challenges upon himself. This lead to him being promoted early into his time at the company to a Lead software developer. When working with Mahfouz, you will immediately notice his excitement surrounding technology, as well as his great interpersonal and problem solving skills, both of which made him an invaluable asset to the company and our clients. Mahfouz is very humble and a great team player who works great in both the capacity of team lead and team member. Many of the more junior developers on the team looked up to Mahfouz for his guidance, and on many occasions, Mahfouz would provide both advise and hands-on-keyboard tutoring to them, even though they were not directly on his team. I wish Mahfouz best in his future endeavors, and believe he will be an asset to any team he joins."

"Mahfouz is an excellent software engineer. He understands what questions to ask and what to do to create awesome software. Mahfouz always shows a great care for everything he does, which comes across in his work and communication. He's also a great guy and very enjoyable to work with. I hope to have another opportunity to work with Mahfouz again some day."

"Mahfouz is awesome, plain and simple. He is friendly, incredibly knowledgeable and always willing to give a hand to newcomers and junior developers like myself. He has taught me best practices, project management, and other useful information to help me excel with my passion in software development. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with and learn from him!"

"I have worked alongside Mahfouz every day for over two years. During that time I've come to know Mahfouz as both a talented developer and a methodical problem solver. He's analytical and thoughtful, can look at problems with fresh eyes, but has the experience required to plan and implement the right solutions. He's one of the nicest people you could ever meet, just don't challenge him to a game of ping-pong because you will inevitably lose."

"I worked with Mahfouz closely as the General Secretary of the Synod. He is highly ethical, relating to his co-workers in a very respectful and transparent way. Mahfouz is dedicated, task oriented, multi-talented. It was a joy to work with him for some years, through which he established our IT Department, and continue to build upon what he achieved for the IT work of our headquarter and seven constituencies. Having Mahfouz Leaving abroad was a real loss on both moral and technical levels."

"Mahfouz was part of the core technology team at Nabbesh from its early days up until very recently when he moved to Canada. Mahfouz is extremely versatile, hard working, great listener and accountable. Mahfouz was a great team player and a loyal member through the company's ups and downs, I would definitely recommend working with him, he is a true asset to any team! "
