I’ve always been driven by one question:

How do we use knowledge, engineering, and mentorship to lift others higher?

My journey has taken me across many worlds — silicon engineering, non-profit leadership, social entrepreneurship, AI, youth mentorship, and early-stage investing — but the common thread has always been impact and service.

Silicon Engineering & Leadership

I joined Apple’s Silicon Engineering Group in 2013, where I spent more than a decade leading the design and integration of Analog and Mixed-Signal IPs across multiple generations of Apple SoCs.

Beyond the technical work, I found meaning in coaching engineers, improving design methodologies, and building high-trust teams grounded in clarity, emotional intelligence, and craftsmanship.

My engineering background includes work in:

• Analog/mixed-signal IC design

• Neural microsystems and brain–machine interfaces

• Low-power biomedical circuits

• Signal processing & AI

• Energy harvesting and implantable communication systems

These experiences taught me how to solve problems from first principles, how to navigate complexity, and how to design systems that simply work.

AI × Engineering (Founder Journey)

Today, I am building a new venture in stealth, focused on reimagining how engineers collaborate, design, and innovate in an AI-native world.

I believe the next generation of silicon engineering will be shaped not only by better tools, but by better ways for humans and AI agents to reason together — with clarity, creativity, and harmony.

Social Entrepreneurship & Community Building

In 2012, I founded Egypt Scholars Inc., a non-profit dedicated to empowering students, researchers, and professionals through mentorship, global collaboration, and applied research.

I led the organization for years with a remarkable team of volunteers, then transitioned it intentionally to new leadership so it could grow independently — one of the accomplishments I am most proud of.

I also co-founded EDGE, a Bay Area initiative focused on career advancement and entrepreneurship within the Arab community.

Angel & Impact Investing

Since 2016, I have invested in founders building technologies that matter — in healthcare, AI, clean tech, semiconductors, and platform technologies.

My investing philosophy is simple: invest in people first.

I am a member of Tech Coast Angels (TCA), Band of Angels (BOA), and mentor several founders across the U.S. and Middle East.

Mentorship & Youth Development

Mentorship has been a constant in my life.

Whether guiding young engineers, teaching AI at Apple, or coaching the Tawasaw-Itkan robotics team, I believe in planting seeds that grow far beyond me.

Young people remind me that talent is universal, but opportunity is not — and it’s our responsibility as mentors to bridge that gap.

What Drives Me

I strive to build organizations, teams, and products that elevate others.

I care deeply about clarity, excellence, character, and purpose.

I believe engineering is more than equations and specs — it is a way to serve humanity with sincerity and responsibility.

Thank you for visiting.

I hope my journey inspires you on yours.
