What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to innovate in robotics and AI, with a focus on collaborative projects and continuous learning.

I am a Mechatronics student at Egypt-Japan University of Science and Technology, with a strong passion for robotics, embedded systems, and artificial intelligence. My academic journey has been marked by a commitment to excellence, as reflected in my CGPA of 3.89. I thrive in collaborative environments, as demonstrated through my involvement in multidisciplinary projects such as the Remotely Operated Underwater Vehicle (ROV) competition, where I contributed to motion control using the Robot Operating System (ROS).

Beyond academics, I have taken the initiative to design and build a large-format CoreXY 3D printer, gaining valuable hands-on experience in mechanical design and precision control. My projects have not only honed my technical skills but also my ability to adapt and innovate in dynamic environments. I am eager to leverage my knowledge and skills in real-world applications, contributing to cutting-edge technologies that shape the future.
