Mohamed
Sheikh.

Software engineer and business owner. Arsenal supporter, occasional AFTV guest, boxer in training, and someone who will happily drive to Amsterdam rather than fly. This is where the non-work parts of life go.

Merde!

A Londoner in Paris. 26 hours, no plan — a 90s French sitcom, a run along the Seine with a rat the size of a British Shorthair, and an impromptu photoshoot at the Louvre.

Paris

Where I’ve been

Home, plus 14 countries. Dashed lines were driven, dotted by train, thin arcs flown. A ring means the city isn’t on record. Hover or tap a dot.

Let’s collab.

Media, cars, football, technology, events, a podcast, a project that needs an engineer who can also talk. If it’s interesting, I want to hear it.
