Khalid Mahrous

I am a Software Engineer with a strong background in backend development and infrastructure, currently working at DPS Kuwait. I have hands-on experience building and integrating systems using technologies such as Java, Spring Boot, Node.js, and REST APIs, along with working on automation solutions using RPA tools like Blue Prism.

I hold a BEng (Hons) in Software Engineering from the University of Sheffield, where I developed a solid foundation in system design, software development, and testing. My experience spans across developing scalable applications, integrating external services, and working with modern tools like Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud-based architectures.

I am particularly interested in building reliable, efficient systems and continuously improving my skills in backend engineering, AI, and infrastructure. I bring a practical, problem-solving mindset and enjoy working in environments where I can contribute to impactful, real-world solutions.
