What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and lead game products where strong technical architecture, live-service systems, simulation, and AI-assisted development workflows can improve how teams ship and iterate.

I co-founded Games Bond, one of Egypt’s pioneering game studios, and now lead design and technical architecture for a 3D mobile 4X strategy title. I’m building an AI-assisted Unity workflow that connects Claude Code with the Unity CLI to accelerate edit-build-test cycles.

At Lobah Studio, I shipped mobile titles including IBaloot and Jakaro, re-architecting systems around MVVM, dependency injection, commands, events, analytics, leaderboards, notifications, and VIVOX chat. I’ve also delivered VR and simulation products, including BMW’s live-event car simulator and a pilot training evaluation system.

I co-created and taught the Game Development Track at Egypt’s Information Technology Institute and have trained more than 100 developers. Across studios in Egypt, Oman, and Sweden, I’ve led teams, built reusable game systems, and helped turn student and production work into deliverable products.
