I grew up in Cairo, Egypt, moved to South Africa to attend the African Leadership Academy, and then came to Pittsburgh to study Software Engineering at Robert Morris University on a Presidential Scholarship.

Along the way, I discovered that the most impactful work happens at the intersection of technology and human needs. That's what drives me; not just writing code, but understanding why something should be built and who it serves.

Over two summers at Matthews International, I led product improvement initiatives, mapped user journeys, and built SOPs that streamlined how teams prioritize features. Through the Rockwell Entrepreneurship Fellowship, I took a hackathon idea from zero to a working AI-powered research tool.
