About

I am a systems architect driven by a first-principles obsession with engineering velocity and low-level optimization. After ranking in the top 0.06% of Egypt’s national mathematics cohort, I bypassed the traditional "student founder" circuit—strategically exiting a top-tier IEEE entrepreneurship final—to focus 100% on building high-performance infrastructure. Whether it’s authoring research on recursive cross-attention (arXiv:2507.02985) a year before the industry’s pivot to stateful transformers, or building a deep learning framework from scratch in C/CUDA to bypass library overhead, I build for transparency and speed. From Hugging Face contributions to architecting autonomous MAS auditing agents, I don't just ship AI; I build the high-concurrency engines that make it possible.
