After a career in security engineering at Amazon, Cisco, and VMware, Wael Ghandour is now back to the Middle East to work on his startup Bitsavant.
An interesting conversation about security, AI, careers, and engineering.
A seasoned security leader shares his career journey from Lebanon to major global tech companies, moving through networking, cybersecurity, and software engineering roles across Cisco, VMware, and Amazon, with key insights into each transition. He also discusses cybersecurity, AI’s impact on the field, security-by-design practices, certifications, and how engineers should adapt by focusing on fundamentals, continuous learning, and using AI as an amplifier rather than a replacement.
Fadi Boulos is the founder of Supportful, a software engineering consulting firm based out of Lebanon. He enables startups in the US and Europe to augment their teams with remote engineers from Lebanon, helping reduce the brain drain in the country and preserve the human capital of its small communities. Fadi has 20 years of experience working in the tech space in the UK, France, and Lebanon, and holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Nantes, France.
