What I'm looking for

I'm looking for opportunities where I can lead safe, compliant railway operations, documentation, system testing, and digital transformation while contributing to data-driven operational decision-making.

At RATP Dev Mobility Cairo, I lead operational documentation, compliance, audits, incident-management drills, and testing for Cairo Metro Line 3 and LRT. I coordinate with engineering, maintenance, production, and RHSQE teams to keep new phases safe, documented, and ready for operation.

I've managed OCC train circulation, signaling and traction monitoring through ATS and SCADA, incident investigations, and depot operations. My electrical engineering background spans railway signaling, rolling stock, traction power, PLCs, and software testing with Selenium and Postman.
