Experience

Head of TET System · AUC Peribsen · Heart Hackathon 2026 Grand Finalist

Spring 2025 — Present

Led a seven-engineer TET sub-team; personally built and characterized the 2026 perfboard prototype after the sub-team dissolved. 200 kHz, 62.00% rail-to-load efficiency and 1.66 W into 20 Ω at 5 mm; STM32 power excluded. Thermal testing, full gap characterization, telemetry, protection and power scaling remain open.



Research Assistant · The American University in Cairo

Jun 2024 — May 2026

Under Prof. Yasser Gadallah: co-developed ARGUS with Youssef I. Mohammed (30 Hz, 50+ recording hours), collected EUPB at 15 Hz, and built a PyTorch crossing-prediction pipeline. Integrated Jetson Xavier and ZED 2 cameras with GPIO and a custom control PCB. Second author of a manuscript on pedestrian action prediction, under review at the International Journal of Computer Vision.



Hardware Engineer Intern · Photon Smart

Jan 2026

Reverse-engineered a commercial low-power IoT water-leakage sensor. Produced hierarchical KiCad schematics with reverse-polarity protection and improved power management. Delivered a production-ready PCB layout in KiCad 8.



Software Engineer · SmartTech Systems

May 2023 — Oct 2023

Built Web APIs in ASP.NET Core following Clean Architecture and the repository pattern. Shipped a dynamic timeline view, statistical charts, and a rating system in Angular.



Software Engineer Intern · SmartTech Systems

May 2022 — Oct 2022

Backend service for RFID-UHF reader over 2-way Named Pipes to a WPF frontend. Adobe Illustrator design automation from CSV via ExtendScript; Telegram bot for data parsing.
