About me

iknowly mentor since Jun 2025

Hi, I’m Ahmed Abdalla — CTO & co-founder of iknowly and a software developer at Mercedes-Benz. With 5+ years of experience in automotive software, I’ve worked with leading companies in Germany including Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Continental. I hold a Master’s degree in Software-Based Automotive Systems from Esslingen University. Outside of work, I’m passionate about real work–life balance and engaging with multinational communities. Having visited 30+ countries, I’ve connected with many inspiring and successful people — each offering a unique perspective on what success means in life and career. These experiences shape how I mentor: practical, honest, and focused on your reality. In our sessions, we’ll translate your goals into a clear roadmap — whether you want to study in Germany, land your first role, or take the next step in your career here.
