Ahmed Saleh (Samak)

Principal Software Developer/Architect & Team Lead (Team Lead from Dec 2025)

AraCom IT Services GmbH · Germany

Working language: 100% German

• Hired to maintain legacy facility-management software; turned that into a parallel Azure rebuild with the client’s Information and Digitalization Officers. AraCom is now on the third contract.
• Designed and delivered the full solution: modular-monolith server plus three clients (C#, EF Core, Azure) for objects, inspections and complaints. Twelve LOB managers steer it; thousands of onsite users across Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic use it daily, with DevOps, IT and C-level in the loop.
• Grew delivery from solo maintenance to a four-person team while owning architecture and backend. That strengthened AraCom’s revenue and retention on the account.
