Born and raised on the the Egyptian Nile, I come from a middle-class family that did its best to allow me to do the things I do today. I started coding at 7. Basic HTML site with a flashy mouse pointer and glitters everywhere. At 12 I wrote my first server-sided application to host my private MMORPG server of a very popular game. I completed my high school education in the Netherlands, where I not only pursued an International Baccalaureate degree but also managed to crowdfund $50,000 USD to bridge the gap left by a partial scholarship. Following this, I was awarded a full scholarship to Luther College in Decorah, IA, where I earned my BAs in Computer Science and Data Science. I have held several positions over the years, I am Ex-Mayo Clinic, Trimble, Fed. HLBDM, and CloudInn, and currently I am on an adventure to my next big thing. In the physical world my home lab might just be the next tech startup incubator, or at least, that’s what I tell myself as it slowly conquers my living space (yes, I get the eye-rolls, but deep down, I know everyone loves it). When I’m not buried in lines of code or training models, you’ll find me in my home lab, tinkering with 3D printers, upgrading a server, conjuring up hardware projects, or playing network wizard with my clusters. My life is an odyssey of merging the digital with the physical. I see parallels between training neural networks and training my body. Both require discipline, patience, and a willingness to adapt and learn. This journey has taught me the value of resilience, not just in AI algorithms but in personal growth. Every rep in the gym, every line of code, every piece of data analyzed is a step towards becoming a better version of myself. I sincerely believe that true excellence starts from health, and I treat physical fitness with the same enthusiasm as my projects, and then some.
