Building resilient technology from Gaza to the world
Portfolio • LinkedIn • TEDx Talk • Email
Self-taught developer from Gaza, based in Cairo. I build software and robots designed for people working under difficult conditions: low connectivity, limited resources, and emergencies. I lead open-source teams, compete internationally, and ship projects that solve real problems.
