Background & Philosophy
Mohammad-Ali has been passionate about programming since the age of 12, beginning his journey with early programming languages and evolving through decades of technological advancement. This early start gave him a deep appreciation for both the craft of software development and the critical importance of security.
As a Docker Captain, he has spoken at conferences and meetups across Europe, sharing practical insights on securing containerized environments. His presentations focus on actionable security practices rather than theoretical concepts, helping teams implement real security improvements.
In 2022, Mohammad-Ali founded the Docker Black Forest meetup in Freiburg, which has since grown into a thriving community and evolved into a CNCF chapter. This initiative reflects his commitment to knowledge sharing and community building in the container ecosystem.
Through Git Weekly, his newsletter dedicated to advanced Git tutorials and tips, Mohammad-Ali helps developers master version control and integrate security practices into their development workflows.
