An Interview with Muzeeb Mohammad - Member of IEEE Computer Society
Muzeeb Mohammad is a Senior Manager of Software Engineering at JPMorgan Chase, Senior Member of IEEE, and Fellow of the Institution of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineers (IETE). He specializes in the design and delivery of secure, resilient, and high-performance distributed microservices for large-scale financial systems, with a strong emphasis on cloud-native architectures, event-driven platforms, Zero-Trust security, and AI-augmented reliability engineering.
1. How has your engagement with the IEEE Computer Society strengthened your leadership in advancing secure and resilient systems?
My engagement with the IEEE Computer Society has significantly amplified my leadership impact by providing a global platform to exchange ideas with researchers, practitioners, and technology leaders. Through IEEE CS conferences, publications, and professional networks, I have been able to refine and validate architectural strategies that I now apply in enterprise-scale financial modernization initiatives at JPMorgan Chase. These interactions have reinforced my focus on system resilience, ethical AI adoption, and sustainable cloud design—principles that guide the distributed systems I lead and influence beyond my organization.
2. What motivated you to join the IEEE Computer Society, and how has the experience evolved?
I joined the IEEE Computer Society to stay closely connected with advances in computing research and to collaborate with professionals committed to technical excellence. Over time, my participation evolved from learning to active contribution, including authoring and presenting research papers, serving as a peer reviewer and technical committee member, and mentoring emerging engineers. IEEE CS has become an essential bridge between academic research and applied enterprise engineering in my professional journey.
3. How have you contributed to the IEEE Computer Society and the broader professional community?
My contributions include authorship of multiple peer-reviewed papers accepted at IEEE conferences and journals, focusing on Zero-Trust API security, resilient microservices, AI-enhanced reliability, and energy-efficient cloud systems. I actively serve as a program committee member and reviewer for international conferences, evaluating research quality and impact. Beyond IEEE, I contribute to the broader technology ecosystem through judging roles for globally recognized awards programs such as the Globee®, Stevie®, and Business Intelligence Group Awards, helping recognize innovation and leadership across industries.
4. What do you find most fulfilling about mentoring and engaging with the IEEE CS community?
Mentoring within the IEEE CS community is one of the most fulfilling aspects of my professional service. I enjoy helping students and early-career engineers translate theory into resilient, production-grade systems and guiding them through career decisions in software engineering and research. IEEE CS creates a unique environment where mentorship is bidirectional—combining practical industry insight with fresh academic perspectives.
5. What excites you about the IEEE Computer Society’s future directions?
I am particularly excited by IEEE CS’s growing focus on software reliability, AI governance, and sustainable computing. As systems become increasingly complex and globally interconnected, the Society’s leadership in ethical design and resilient infrastructure will be critical. I am eager to continue contributing to initiatives that promote AI-driven reliability frameworks and energy-efficient cloud architectures.
6. How do you envision continuing your contributions to IEEE CS and the global technology ecosystem?
I plan to expand my involvement through continued research publication, peer review, and leadership roles within IEEE CS activities and conferences. My ongoing work will focus on secure, resilient, and AI-augmented distributed microservices, directly supporting IEEE’s mission of advancing technology for humanity. I also aim to foster stronger academia-industry collaboration through mentorship, invited talks, and technical working groups.
