What I'm looking for

I am seeking a dynamic role that fosters innovation and growth, where I can apply my technical skills and contribute to impactful projects.

I am a dedicated Mechatronics Engineering student at Mansoura University, where I have maintained a CGPA of 3.97/4.0, ranking in the top 2 of my class. My academic journey has been enriched by hands-on projects, including an Autonomous Multilingual Tour Guide Robot, which was funded by the Academy of Scientific Research & Technology. This project not only honed my technical skills but also ignited my passion for integrating robotics with software solutions.

In addition to my formal education, I have completed an intensive ALX Software Engineering Programme focusing on back-end development with Node.js and Python. My portfolio includes a variety of projects such as an AirBnB clone and an E-Commerce Web Application, where I utilized technologies like Django, PostgreSQL, and React.js. I thrive in collaborative environments, as evidenced by my roles in IEEE ManCSC, where I contribute to open-source projects and mentor peers in robotics and embedded systems.
