AI & Automation Engineer - Est. 2021

Interfaces
with a pulse.

I'm an AI Engineer specializing in deep learning and AI-powered automation, currently training in the AI Automation track with Digital Egypt Pioneers Initiative (DEPI). I help startups and health-tech teams move from "we have an AI idea" to a real, working product — designing and deploying computer vision and deep learning models, and building automated workflows that connect APIs and AI tools like n8n. My models have won 1st place at the YTA-AI competition and been used in published research, including a chest X-ray classification study that reached 98.23% accuracy. I'm NVIDIA-certified in Deep Learning and comfortable across the full stack — from training a model to shipping it inside a live app. If you need AI that works in production, not just in a notebook, I'm the person to build it.

Dignova – AI-Powered Medical Imaging Application01
PyTorchCase study

Dignova – AI-Powered Medical Imaging Application

(1st Place, YTA-AI Competition) Built and deployed two deep learning models for a medical imaging application: one classifying 14 chest X-ray conditions, and one detecting bone fractures from X-ray images. The project won Best Application at the YTA-AI competition, demonstrating that the models performed reliably enough for real diagnostic support, not just a lab demo.

Edman – Volunteer Coordination Platform02
FlutterCase study

Edman – Volunteer Coordination Platform

(Built for the Egyptian Anti-Drug Fund) Delivered a complete platform — mobile app, admin dashboard, and backend — to help coordinate volunteers for a national anti-drug initiative, including location-based matching so volunteers connect with nearby opportunities. Added an AI microservice that automatically summarizes participant feedback, saving the team hours of manual review. Placed 3rd in the MUST Project Competitions.

Gesture to Motion – Hand‑Tracking Robotic Hand03
PythonCase study

Gesture to Motion – Hand‑Tracking Robotic Hand

Designed and built a robotic hand that mirrors a person's hand movements in real time, using computer vision to track hand position through a webcam and translating it into motor commands. The project earned a ranking at an international robotics competition in Saudi Arabia, showing the system worked reliably under live competition conditions.
