About me

About me
Full-Stack Software Engineer & Tech Startup Co-Founder based in California,
with experience in Software Development, AI, Cybersecurity, Entrepreneurship, Management and the Media field.
Bio
I am a 23-year-old curious human being.
In 2022, I co-founded a Tech startup with friends and the first major product is about to launch soon: SAFER Carpooling Service.
I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science from California State University, Long Beach (Summa Cum Laude, 2025) and an Associate of Science Degree in Computer Science from Orange Coast College (President’s List, 2023).
I grew up in Cairo, Egypt, attending the Lycée Français du Caire (the French High School in Cairo). Throughout my teenage years, I was a professional swimmer and had the chance to compete in many regional and national competitions in Egypt.
In 2015, at the age of 13, I was luckily introduced to the Media and Communication field. After working as a production team member for 6 months, I was promoted to Assistant Producer at Al Kahera Wal Nas (Cairo Centric) TV Channel. Joining this field was a turning point in my life. The experience I gained and the love I had for the job made me continue as an Assistant TV Producer for 4 years.
To enrich my work experience and to do community service for my country, I had a 2-month internship at UNFPA Egypt (the United Nations Population Fund). I worked on the “Sports4Development” Program and in the Media and Communication department.
In 2017, I joined Mentor Arabia Organization. Mentor Arabia is a subsidiary of Mentor International, a non-profit organization founded by HM Queen Silvia of Sweden. The goal of Mentor is to prevent youth from dangerous activities such as drug and substance abuse. I attended several events with HM the Queen of Sweden and worked closely with her team during several “Mentor” events and activities in Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon.
In 2020, I graduated from high school with highest honors. I then moved to France to pursue my career in Engineering and Computer Science. Since my early childhood, my main interest in everything around me was technology. That is why I knew that computer science was my best career option. I joined EPITA Paris which is one of the best computer science schools in France and in Europe.
In 2022, I had the chance to be part of an exchange program and to do a semester abroad at California State University, Los Angeles. This was a great opportunity to visit the US for the first time and to learn more about the American college system.
