03Journey

A line from data integrity to regional planning.

2020 — 2021 Amazon

Auditor · GAM Project

Remote · 1 year 8 months

Supported Amazon's launch in Egypt by auditing large datasets for the data-entry pipeline. Learned what data integrity looks like at scale — the foundation everything else was built on.

  • Data integrity
  • Large-scale audits
  • Process discipline
2021 — 2022 Intelcia

Customer Technical Support

Cairo · 11 months

Pivoted into BPO operations. Resolved complex customer issues with analytical rigour and clear communication — the first lessons in how front-line work shapes the metrics planners later optimise.

  • Customer ops
  • Analytical problem solving
  • Front-line insight
2022 — 2023 Intelcia

Senior RTM · Real-Time Manager

Cairo · 9 months

Owned real-time operations and SLA adherence for the call center. Led the team end-to-end — performance, development, scheduling, leaves. Where dashboards became decisions, in minutes.

  • Real-time ops
  • SLA management
  • Team leadership
2023 — 2025 Intelcia

Regional Planning & Scheduling Specialist

Cairo · 2 yrs 2 mo

Led capacity planning across two countries and six+ accounts. Built Python forecasting models that fold machine learning into the planning cycle. Owned the full scheduling stack — from intent to implementation to optimisation.

  • Multi-country capacity
  • Python forecasting + ML
  • End-to-end scheduling
2025 — Now Intelcia

05Approach

I don't just schedule shifts. I model the system that makes the shifts possible — the demand patterns, the agent skills, the seasonal noise, the SLA cliffs. Then I build the forecasts, the automations, and the dashboards that let the whole operation run a step ahead, instead of a step behind.

i.

Model the system, not the symptom

Real-time fires happen because something upstream wasn't modelled right. I start every problem with the demand-supply structure beneath it.

ii.

Automate the repetition out

If a planner runs the same query every Monday, that query becomes a Python job. Time saved on plumbing is time spent on judgement.

iii.

Make the numbers honest

Forecasts that flatter no one. Dashboards that show the gap, not hide it. Lean Six Sigma discipline applied to the data itself.

06Selected work

Three threads that hold the practice together.

01

Multi-country capacity planning

Capacity for two national markets, six+ accounts, in one cohesive model. Resource allocation tuned per account SLA, seasonality, and skill mix. The model isn't perfect — but it's transparent enough that the ops floor can see where it's wrong and tell me why.

  • Capacity model
  • Multi-country
  • SLA-aware
02

Python-driven forecasting

Forecasting models written in Python — regression and statistical methods stitched together for business planning that doesn't surprise anyone in week three. Outputs feed directly into the schedule engine, replacing what used to be week-long spreadsheets.

  • Python
  • Regression / ML
  • End-to-end automation
03

Real-time ops, modelled

As Senior RTM I owned SLA adherence in the moment — but the lasting work was turning that minute-by-minute knowledge into structural insights for the planning layer. Bottlenecks identified at real-time speed inform capacity assumptions at planning speed.

  • Real-time ops
  • SLA
  • Bottleneck analysis
