RowingEgyptian National Rowing Team
Abdelrahman Saad
I'm a rower and a member of the Egyptian national rowing team. I compete in Classic Rowing, Coastal Rowing and indoor rowing on the Concept2 Erg — in the 2000m, 1000m, and 500m events — at National and international championships.
Alongside my work as a backend developer, rowing taught me discipline, consistency, and how to push through limits — the same mindset I bring to engineering. Every season has a new target, and I train for it like I'd ship a feature.
