Hi! I'm Marwan, a software engineer with 4+ years of fullstack experience and recent hands-on work in MLOps and AI infrastructure.

Most recently at ZenML, I led development on production-grade pipelines and blog content (OCR, EU AI Act, LLMOps classification) and contributed to the ZenML VSCode extension. Previously at CardFree, I built merchant-facing features for loyalty programs, promotional campaigns, and built their global search system. I also co-created Pennant, an open-source collaborative computational notebook built for real-time sync and async execution.

I'm currently open to new roles where I can tackle technically ambitious problems across AI infrastructure, developer experience, or fullstack product engineering.
