About

Portrait of Mohamed Ashraf
Mohamed AshrafSoftware EngineerOpen to work

Hi, I’m Mohamed Ashraf, a software engineer.

One product taught me how to design, build, ship, and operate production software.

I was curious about computers long before software became my career. That curiosity led me to study computer science, where I started building automation tools. One of those experiments became FB Control, a product I’ve built and operated since 2022.

Building and operating it for years taught me to own a system end to end, design the architecture, build across the stack, ship to production, make real engineering decisions, and keep it reliable as it evolves.
