Yousef Ourabi
Director Of Software Engineering, EC2 Instance Networking at Amazon Web Services (AWS)
United States
Summary
👤
SeniorYousef Ourabi is a seasoned engineering leader with 16 years building and scaling distributed systems and networking platforms, now directing Application Networking at AWS (API Gateway, PrivateLink, Lattice). He has a track record of growing high-performance, cross-functional teams across multiple continents and owning end-to-end delivery for services that operate at internet scale and serve internal and external Amazon customers. His background spans founding startups (Snitch.io), deep operational engineering in load balancing and networking, and long-term product leadership at AWS, blending hands-on systems expertise with product and UX collaboration. Known for raising the operational bar, he couples pragmatic engineering judgment with a founder’s bias for shipping and iterating. A less obvious strength is his sustained focus on internal platform evolution—modernizing Amazon’s internal load balancing while simultaneously delivering customer-facing API infrastructure.

django-banish is a Django middleware app to banish user agents by IP address or User Agent Header. It also supports basic abuse prevention by automatically banning users if they exceed a certain number of requests per minute, which is likely some form of attack or attempted denial of service.
