What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role in data science where I can innovate and lead impactful projects.

I am a Senior Data Scientist with extensive experience in developing innovative solutions for blockchain data analysis. At TRM Labs, I have successfully led the development of multiple products, including a risk scoring model for dark-web posts and a cross-chain tracing tool that has recovered millions in stolen funds. My work has significantly increased the number of attributed blockchain addresses and enhanced the capabilities of our data science team.

My academic background includes a B.Sc. in Computer Science & Engineering from the German University in Cairo, where I graduated with highest honors. I have also contributed to the field through research, co-authoring a paper on traceability heuristics for the privacy chain Monero, which was published at the IEEE ICBC. I am passionate about leveraging machine learning and data analytics to drive impactful results in the blockchain space.
