01 Beyond the title
A generalist by nature.
A builder by choice.
The interesting work happens where disciplines overlap.
I’m a computer science graduate, developer, entrepreneur, U.S. Army veteran, and Egyptian jeweler. That combination taught me to approach problems from more than one angle: technically, operationally, creatively, and always with the person on the other side in mind.
I’m at my best turning rough ideas into systems people can actually use—whether that means a full-stack web experience, an AI experiment, a better process, or a one-of-a-kind piece sourced from Egypt.
