Ahmad Igbaryya

Solutions Architect & Staff Engineer

Summary

I'm a software architect and staff-level engineer with 9+ years designing and delivering enterprise platforms end-to-end across telecom, cloud, and AI; frontend, backend, and infrastructure alike. I'm strongest in TypeScript/Node.js, React, GraphQL, and Kubernetes.

Selected Achievements

  • Raised a telecom data-sync success rate from ≈30% to ≈99% with ~10x throughput (≈50 → ≈500 records/sec) on a platform I built end-to-end.
  • Architected a GraphQL federation platform and the standards multiple feature teams built on, cutting new-service bootstrap from days to minutes.
  • Built internal tooling in production use by 200+ engineers across 10+ delivery projects, 7+ years and counting.
  • Led and mentored a Scrum team, and repeatedly parachuted into at-risk telecom programs across European carriers to stabilize delivery.
  • Shipped a youth crisis-management system to live production in 4 days during the October 2023 emergency.

Experience

AmdocsDec 2016 — Present
Solutions Architect · Nazareth / Ra'anana, Israel
Samurai AI PlatformDec 2025 — Present
Lead Engineer / Architect
  • Built an AI agent framework (LangChain over OpenAI / AWS Bedrock / vLLM) with streaming chat and 25+ tool integrations, plus a RAG knowledge-base system on PostgreSQL/pgvector (multi-format ingestion, embeddings, semantic retrieval).
  • Implemented agent interoperability via the A2A v1.0 protocol (agent cards, registry, JSON-RPC task lifecycle) and built an MCP server exposing 49 platform operations to IDE/AI clients.
  • Developed a React/Redux visual workflow builder (20+ step types with nested flow control) over a 50+ endpoint Node.js/Express API with JWT/LDAP auth and RBAC.
  • Owned deployment with Helm/Kubernetes (StatefulSets, HPA autoscaling, ingress, migration init containers) and Jenkins CI/CD to a Nexus registry, instrumented with OpenTelemetry tracing.

Syncro (TMO Orchestrator)2025
Creator & Lead Full-Stack Engineer · T-Mobile
  • Sole engineer responsible for architecture and implementation (backend, frontend, data, CI/CD) of a telecom operations platform automating customer billing-account (BAN) refresh and cross-system data synchronization, working with operations teams and external billing-system owners; lifted the core sync KPI from ≈30% to ≈99% in 10 months and sustained a >95% success rate.
  • Scaled a single-threaded Node.js service to process ≈1M BANs nightly without Kubernetes, via an app-level horizontal-scaling model launching one binary as N labeled worker instances, each claiming a DB-partitioned slice of work with runtime-tunable concurrency pools; raised throughput ≈10x (≈50 → ≈500 BANs/sec) with adaptive throttling.
  • Engineered a Node.js/TypeScript (Fastify) multi-agent backend (scheduler, processor, web-service agents) running cron-driven automations with a custom concurrency/queue engine (libuv / p-limit) enforcing complex execution rules.

Orchestration (GraphQL Federation) PlatformOct 2023 — Early 2025
Technical & Solution Architect / Lead Engineer · Yettel
  • Led the architecture and set the standards, boundaries, and runtime that every feature team built on, via a GraphQL Federation supergraph/subgraph platform (Node.js, TypeScript, Fastify, Mercurius).
  • Built the core integration SDK: a singleton API connector unifying BSS and Legacy integrations with centralized auth, caching, timeout/retry, URL & API-version rewriting, and a normalized error taxonomy with source attribution and correlation IDs.
  • Designed a 'plug-and-play' subgraph framework where teams provide only resolvers/business logic while the platform auto-wires federation, depth-limiting, error handling, context, caching, and hooks, cutting new-service bootstrap from days to minutes.
  • Implemented a Kubernetes-native gateway that auto-discovers subgraphs via the K8s API and dynamically composes the federated supergraph with health polling, with zero manual gateway config when adding services.

Env Manager2018 — Present
Creator & Lead Engineer · Personal initiative
  • Architected a 3-tier system: a vanilla JS + PHP front end executing commands on remote Unix servers over SSH2 (phpseclib) from the browser, backed by two Java/Spring Boot microservices, one resolving any VAPP/hostname into its full environment topology from an Oracle registry, and a config plugin parsing XML app configuration into a searchable UI.
  • Implemented role-based access control, full audit logging of every executed command (user, session, client IP, target host), and a modular widget framework (databases, customers, caching, ESB, message/SIM/IBAN utilities).

Front-End Tech Lead & Crisis-Program Specialist2020 — 2023
Digital Telecom Programs
  • Relocated to the North (Nazareth) to lead and mentor a full Scrum team delivering digital self-service for telecom clients, owning day-to-day delivery and technical direction.
  • Repeatedly deployed as a senior front-end (React/Redux) specialist to stabilize and accelerate at-risk 'crisis' programs across European carriers, including Vodafone Italy (VFIT), 3UK, and 3IR.

USCC Digital Self-Service Platform2018 — 2020
Full-Stack Engineer (Front-End Focus) · US Cellular
  • Marked the move from backend into the digital/full-stack world, building customer-facing self-service features with React and Redux, backed by Java/JDBC services over REST.
Tech: React · Redux · JavaScript · Java · JDBC · REST
Order Management System (OMS)Dec 2016 — 2018
Backend Software Engineer · AT&T
  • Developed and maintained backend services in Java/JDBC for a large-scale telecom order management system, delivering features and resolving production defects.

Volunteer & Community Impact

Sultana, Crisis Intervention & Youth Case-Management Platform2023
Volunteer Project

Built and deployed a production case-management platform in 4 days end-to-end during the October 2023 emergency, helping a municipality locate and support at-risk and displaced youth evacuated across the country.

  • Centralized thousands of youth records into a single system used by counselors, program supervisors, and education leadership.
