About

open as a page

I'm a software student at Menoufia University who works across data, automation and the web. I started with front-end development in 2021, moved into data science through the Digital Egypt Cubs Initiative, and now build automation workflows with n8n while training as a data analyst at DEPI.

Alongside code, I run marketing and IT at CMT, the company that won 3rd place at the E-Gnite Entrepreneurship Competition. I also organize events, mentor in data communities, and I played volleyball competitively, winning a national bronze medal.

I'm a Kaggle Expert, I solve problems on Codeforces, and I co-founded Why Not Initiative to help young people reach education and entrepreneurship opportunities.
