What I'm looking for

I seek roles that leverage bioinformatics and CADD skills with opportunities to apply UI/UX and programming in collaborative, research-driven environments focused on learning and impact.

I am a Bioinformatics graduate from Nile University with hands-on experience in molecular modeling, structure-based drug design (CADD), and laboratory techniques, complemented by practical training in cytogenetics and animal handling. I combine scientific rigor with programming ability (Python, Linux, HTML) to manage data and run simulations that support research projects and publications.

Alongside laboratory work, I cultivate user-centered digital skills—UI/UX design using Figma, wireframing, prototyping, and usability testing—and have built web interfaces and static pages. I contribute effectively in teams, support classroom learning as a teaching assistant, and have presented research at my university forum.
