AI-Native Product Thinking
I enjoy turning ambitious ideas into practical intelligent experiences, whether through agent workflows, retrieval systems, or human-centered AI interfaces.

About
I am a Software Engineering student at Ain Shams University and a Penetration Testing trainee through the Digital Egypt Pioneers Initiative (DEPI), with a strong interest in AI-native products, agentic workflows, and security-driven development. I enjoy building systems that feel ambitious but still practical: from retrieval-augmented assistants and MCP-oriented integrations to mobile products and large-scale engineering challenges.

What I Bring
Security-First Engineering
My offensive-security background helps me design systems that are not only functional but resilient, testable, and hard to break.
Execution With Creativity
I like building things that feel smart, elegant, and useful — from mobile apps to distributed systems and experimental AI products.
Featured Projects
Mini-RAG Assistant
Production-style retrieval-augmented Q&A service: a FastAPI layer for document upload, chunking, and indexing, vector storage in PostgreSQL + pgvector, async ingestion via Celery, and augmented-answer generation over the OpenAI API / local Ollama models.
Holdco OS
An MCP-based multi-agent system that exposes sub-company operations as tool servers, orchestrated with LangGraph for branching/parallel tool routing, LangChain for retrieval and prompt chains, and Claude/Ollama for inference — fully traced with LangSmith.
Offensive Security Lab with OWASP Juice Shop
Used OWASP Juice Shop as a hands-on offensive security playground to uncover vulnerabilities, validate attack paths, and think like both attacker and defender. This strengthened my ability to approach security with curiosity, precision, and real-world judgment.
BEACON: Disaster Response Communication App
Developed a resilient peer-to-peer emergency app with WiFi Direct, encrypted storage, and speech interaction — showing how I combine reliability, security, and user-centered design in mobile products.
Homie Mobile App
Built a modern mobile experience focused on usability, personalization, and real-world impact. It reflects a strong balance of product thinking, clean implementation, and the ability to turn an idea into a polished app.
Federated Learning-based IDS for Autonomous Vehicles
Privacy-preserving intrusion detection for automotive CAN bus traffic: local training on Raspberry Pi edge nodes and a Flask REST API that aggregates model updates via Flower — no raw vehicle data ever leaves a node.
