DrGeorges Bou Ghantous

I am a Software Engineering academic lecturer and researcher with a PhD from the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) and over 20 years of experience in higher education, software engineering, and industry-aligned technology education.My academic experience encompasses subject coordination, curriculum design, assessment governance, academic team leadership, and the supervision of capstone and research projects across undergraduate and postgraduate programs. I have extensive experience managing large student cohorts, coordinating teaching teams, and maintaining academic quality in complex educational environments.

My research focuses on software engineering, DevOps, cloud and distributed systems, infrastructure automation, and AI-assisted and agentic AI-assisted software development. Grounded in Design Science Research, my work includes the development and empirical evaluation of the DRA Framework®, a DevOps Reference Architecture supporting automation and multi-cloud deployment of distributed applications. My peer-reviewed publications span DevOps architectures, cloud computing, infrastructure orchestration, AI integration, and software engineering practices.Beyond academia, I contribute to industry-focused technology education and workforce development.

My experience includes curriculum development at the Institute of Applied Technology – Digital (IATD), the development and delivery of industry training programs with Akkodis, and technology training delivered through Correlation One as part of its Amazon program.My technical and educational expertise spans Microsoft Azure, AWS, DevOps, CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, AI-assisted software engineering, agentic AI workflows, and contemporary software development methodologies.I am particularly interested in advancing the integration of academic research, emerging AI technologies, industry practice, and higher education to develop innovative engineering solutions and future-ready technology capabilities.
