About Me

The question I've always been trying to answer.

I've been fascinated by technology and design since I was a kid. I wanted to be an "inventor" — whatever I thought that meant at the time. As a 90s kid, I got to experience the world before and after the internet, and actually get my hands dirty before everything happened on a screen.

For a while I thought architecture was the answer to that urge to make things. Five years of studying how structure, aesthetics, and function come together. Eventually I realised you don't design and build an architectural masterpiece on your own — too many people, too much money, too many years.

On the web, it's different. You can "invent" something in weeks. Design it, build it, ship it, watch people use it. That's the process I was looking for all along. After building my first website, I knew this was what I was meant to be doing.

I was born and raised in Egypt, immigrated to Canada, and have successfully switched careers more than a couple of times. I'm a technology optimist and design obsessive who happily swallowed the AI pill — now I'm just seeing how deep the rabbit hole goes.
