About
Hi, I'm Mahmoud Zalt — a software engineer who enjoys mixing deep thinking with practical, real-world software that actually ships and helps people.
Who I Am
My story and background.
Overview
I'm just a curious human and a problem solver, driven by a deep passion for technology. I fell into programming from a young age by trying to bend my fascinating computer to my imagination, and that curiosity quickly evolved into a lifelong dedication to software engineering and product development. Ever since, coding has been my favorite playground for limitless creativity. Today, my work has a global scope. While I'm based between Amsterdam and Barcelona, working closely with teams across Europe, my reach extends to strong partnerships in the US and the Middle East. This international perspective is deeply rooted in my Lebanese-Dutch background and digital-nomad lifestyle. It's taught me to see the universal patterns that define success, regardless of the environment, a perspective I now channel into empowering teams for building cutting-edge technologies focused on creating true lasting impact. This site is a small window into that journey.
