Welcome Louay Kamel to the IOTA Foundation

Louay Kamel joins IOTA as a Software Engineer on the permanode team. In this role, Louay will focus on implementing a permanode utilising another of his recent projects: OverDB (a scalable distributed graph / multi-model database engine built on top of ScyllaDB).

Louay lives in Guelph, Ontario Canada and has been in the technology sector for over ten years, with a variety of different skills including coding, supporting, consulting, recording and video-editing.  

I am honored to have the opportunity to work with such diverse, brilliant minds in the IOTA Foundation. I am confident that IOTA is the first step towards a Utopian future where things communicate, manage and distribute self-healing tasks beyond the internet protocol, in a decentralised manner. I’m pleased to be a part of this technological revolution.

My passion is in parallel programming, consensus algorithms and Distributed systems. At IOTA, I aim to finish the permanode (codename: Chronicle) project, build an extensive list of apps on top of the tangle, work on Bee and learn Rust along the way.
