About Me

With over two decades of experience in the technology and multimedia industries, I have a proven track record of driving innovation and efficiency in web development, media platforms, and e-learning solutions.

Career Path

Graduating with a Bachelor’s in Computer Science and a minor in Business Administration from a reputable Egyptian university, I launched my career as a graphic designer while completing my degree at Modern Academy in 2001. At e-Knowledge, an e-Learning arm of IT Investments, I created SCORM-compliant learning objects and led a team of XML editors, collaborating with top institutions like Middlesex University. As Multimedia Division Manager, I established significant international business relationships in the UK.

In 2006, I joined Santeon Corp., focusing on online TV and media platforms. Starting as a Senior ActionScript Developer, I swiftly progressed to project lead, overseeing customer engagement and consulting on online TV projects across the USA and UK, working with diverse, multicultural teams to deliver innovative solutions.

From 2010 to 2011, I served as a Technical Product Manager at Active Digital Development, spearheading the development of an online video platform for Arabic films. My role encompassed roadmap creation, technical consultation, third-party communication, and developing a custom video player.

As Media and UX Manager at ElKotob.com, a subsidiary of Book Depository owned by Amazon, I streamlined media team workflows, enabled the team to adopt improved processes, and established version control protocols.

Endorsements

Below are endorsements from former managers and customers:

“Yehia for me was – and still is – the Flash Guru in terms of advanced Action Script programming and XML competency. His passion about Multimedia backed up with his good taste of creating attractive GUI wether by himself or through guiding specialized designers had enabled him to lead all the company’s multimedia projects. In addition to his technical skills, I endorse Yehia also for his highly effective communication skills, project coordination and management capabilities. He did play a pivotal role in communicating with UK based customers in multiple strategic projects we had, where he was a key player in winning customers’ trust by working professionally as one of their own UK based teams. I look forward to work again with Yehia in any future opportunity.”
