Tech Leader,AI-Native Engineer & Community Builder
The story so far
I'm a tech leader based in Berlin, originally from Cairo. Over the past decade, I've built mobile products at some of Europe's most ambitious companies — from travel and logistics to food delivery and fintech.
My work sits at the intersection of engineering leadership, product thinking, and community building. I've led iOS teams, shipped apps used by millions, and helped shape technical strategy at companies like GetYourGuide, Delivery Hero, and FlixBus.
These days, I'm particularly excited about AI-native development and how agentic coding is reshaping the way we build software. I share what I learn through Ampli Vibe AI and bring the Berlin tech community together through meetups and events.
