3 Projects Zlien January 2013 to Present Members:Mosab Ahmad, Antonio Safwat Zlien is a national mechanic lien and preliminary notice filing service, and also provides the LienPilot webbased lien compliance manager and deadline calculator. Wuzzuf (Formerly: Basharjobs) April 2011 to April 2011 Members:Mosab Ahmad, Ameer Sherif, Ahmed Samir, Bahaa Galal, Islam Ibrahem, Muhammad Algarhy, Amro Mohamed Was the lead developer Zobad.net September 2011 to Present Members:Mosab Ahmad, Ali Abdel Moniem Mansour An online web site where we aggregate and post daily the most popular and trending viral video on the internet WUZZUF January 2010 to Present Members:Mosab Ahmad, Ahmed ElSharkawy, Ameer Sherif, Muhammad Algarhy, Islam Ibrahem, Ahmed Samir WUZZUF is the future of job boards where advanced matching algorithms analyze jobs and Talent Profiles to produce real-time recommendations for employers and job seekers. In Wuzzuf, candidates create what we call Talent Profiles (TPs) instead of uploading their CVs. TPs are more structured and visual than CVs making them easier to read and easier to use for matching with jobs. Intelligent matching algorithms then match TPs with jobs from employers to produce job recommendations for job seekers and candidate recommendations for employers. Both job seekers and employers no longer need to search for each other we do this on their behalf to save them time and frustration. Wuzzuf has a unique business model that s different from other traditional online job boards where employers have to make their payment upfront to access a database of CVs or post a job without knowing if they will get quality candidates or not.

A service parses the data in the "electric power grid load meter" provided by The Egyptian Electric Utility and Consumer Protection Regulatory Agency (EGYPTERA) and presents it in a more human friendly way.
