I’m Ahmed Toumi, a Data Engineer and Kafka DevOps Architect with 15+ years of experience building enterprise-grade software and data platforms, including 7+ years specializing in Apache Kafka and real-time streaming systems.

I hold multiple industry certifications, including Confluent Certified Administrator for Apache Kafka (CCAAK) and Confluent Certified Developer for Apache Kafka (CCDAK), along with Data Streaming Engineer (Foundation) and Apache Flink certifications. They reflect my hands-on focus on operating, scaling, and securing Kafka in production.

Over the years, I’ve designed and operated event-driven architectures, high-throughput streaming pipelines, and Kafka Connect / Kafka Streams solutions with a strong emphasis on reliability, performance, security (SSL/SASL, ACLs), and real-world troubleshooting. I also bring solid DevOps experience with Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and on-call practices.

On Udemy, my goal is to help engineers build practical Kafka administration and streaming skills through realistic scenarios, clear explanations, and exam-oriented practice.
