From teaching robots to shipping payments

Smart Village, Egypt

Software Engineer

CIB — Commercial International Bank

I build digital-banking features end to end at Egypt's largest private-sector bank. The work runs from sitting in requirements sessions with product owners and business stakeholders through to backend services, API documentation and User Acceptance Testing.

• Delivered Apple Pay activation, Instant Card Issuance, Real-Time Deposit Redemption and Mutual Fund Trading
• Designed and built the CIB × WE portal, integrating backend APIs for real-time payment and transaction information
• Translated functional and technical requirements into backend services alongside product owners, QA and frontend engineers
• Wrote API documentation and technical specifications used as the contract between business and development teams
• Supported system testing, defect resolution and UAT through to release
• Contributed as a frontend developer to reducing technical debt, resolving TypeScript issues across the codebase

• Node.js
• NestJS
• REST API design
• React
• React Native
• Agile & Scrum

Robotics Instructor

Nutty Scientists

I teach robotics and applied AI to school-age students across several institutions, designing the curriculum for each age group rather than delivering a fixed syllabus. Explaining a control loop to a ten-year-old is the best debugging practice there is.

• Taught 30+ international students across multiple institutions
• Designed age-specific robotics programmes rather than one-size-fits-all lessons
• Built 5+ robots with the Maker and Coder AIoT Kit to demonstrate practical AI and IoT
• Built and programmed 30+ robots using LEGO Education Spike, Essential and EV3

Graduation Project Lead

Misr International University

I led the team behind a smart assistive system for visually impaired users, running real-time object detection and speech recognition on a Raspberry Pi 4. It was my first attempt at a problem I have since returned to twice.

• Led the team building real-time navigation assistance with convolutional neural networks
• Deployed and tuned the detection model to run on low-power hardware
• Integrated night-vision camera input with audio feedback for the user
• Awarded a Summa Cum Laude distinction

• Python
• TensorFlow
• CNNs
• Raspberry Pi 4
• Computer vision
