I build the boring, critical parts well.

I studied Electronics & Communications Engineering, specialising in Smart Systems. My graduation project put a convolutional neural network on a Raspberry Pi to help visually impaired people navigate a room — which is where I learned that the interesting part of engineering is almost always the constraint.

I now build digital-banking features at CIB Egypt. Hardware taught me constraints; banking taught me consequences. Between the two, I have kept returning to the same problem — building for people whose environment does not accommodate them.

The way I work is unglamorous and it holds up: talk to the stakeholder first, write the spec, build small, document the API, then test it with the people who will actually use it.
