## About

```text
At etisalat Egypt, I work as an AI & Data Analytics senior specialist. In my previous specialist role there, I was responsible for non-telecom team chatbots and agentic systems, evaluated chatbot capabilities, and designed guardrails against SQL injection, impersonation, violence, and hate queries.

I also developed the E& Eshop Chatbot and machine learning models with data+10M, handled C-level dashboard summarization, and delivered insights for non-telecom departments. I was responsible for an AI scraping tool as well.

At ITSS, I researched GNN models for question answering and developed them for recommendation systems. I also integrated GNNs with LLMs for question answering and fine-tuned models including Gemma3n and Phi-4 for chatbot responses.

Before focusing on AI, I worked as a .NET Developer and Data Analyst at SOFCO LLC. I developed apps and components with Microsoft Power Apps, created Azure Functions and APIs, managed data with Microsoft SQL Server and Cosmos DB, and built Power BI dashboards and reports.
