M-GO CTO, Samir Ahmed, oversees the company’s technology strategy, including platform and application development, deployment, and user experience.

Formerly vice president of technology architecture at M-GO, Samir was responsible for end-to-end platform architecture ranging from UltraViolet integration and video encoding to backend services and client development. He developed the current M-GO platform from the ground up and collaborated with the engineering teams to build an extremely modular, flexible and robust open source platform.

Samir has extensive knowledge in video encryption and large platform architecture, holding six patents in electronic and web technologies. With a passion for code, data algorithms, and emerging technologies, he maintains an active, hands-on approach to development and architecture, preferring to always lead by example.

He is a distinguished member of the Technicolor Fellowship Program, which recognizes exceptional contributions to technology leadership.

When Samir isn’t working on technical projects, he volunteers as a tutor, teaching young people how to program.
