Mostafa's Portfolio

About Me

Hi! This is Mostafa Ashraf — a passionate software engineer, working on modern C++ systems, cloud-native services, and 5G/Open RAN platforms. I hold a B.E. in Computer & Systems Engineering and I’m currently pursuing an M.Sc. (Faculty of Engineering, Ain Shams University). I contributed to multiple open-source projects (Google Summer of Code (GSoC) contributor & mentor) and I work on telecom cloud-native modules like CHF and RIC testing platforms.
