Summary

With 12 years of experience in automation, smart cities & IIOT contributing to many smart cities in Egypt and Saudi Arabia ( Olympic City, Emaar Misr, Sabic & MISK), I have built a solid foundation of technical expertise complemented by strong business skills.


Earning an MBA in International Business from AASTMT with exceptional GPA of 3.94 out of 4 has added significant value to my career by helping me bridge the gap between technology and business, enabling me to align technical solutions with strategic goals and deliver meaningful outcomes.


Beyond technical roles, I have been actively involved in forging partnerships with global companies and creating new opportunities in the Gulf and African markets. I thrive in roles that require innovation, strategic thinking, and the ability to connect technical expertise with business growth.


I have had the privilege of working on diverse projects across Germany, France, Ghana, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia. These experiences have not only deepened my technical knowledge but also strengthened my ability to collaborate with multicultural teams and deliver results in complex, dynamic environments, and added global perspective to my career.


I am passionate about leveraging technology to drive progress and create impactful solutions, and I look forward to contributing to organizations that value innovation, sustainability, and global collaboration.
