About Me
My journey in software development began in Egypt, where I started my computer science coursework. I continued my studies in Oman and earned my B.Sc in Computer Science & Information Technology from the Open University (United Kingdom) in 2020. This international educational foundation led me to Seattle, Washington, where I've grown from network administration to software engineering.
Starting as a Network & Systems Administrator at MAPS, I discovered my passion for automation and testing. This led me to Denali Advanced Integration as an IT Systems Engineer, and eventually to Intellica Inc. as a Software Engineer, where I specialized in gateway testing and API development.
During my time at Intellica (January - September 2025), I also completed a part-time remote internship at Sistahology (April - August 2025), building a full-stack journaling application with React, TypeScript, Supabase, and Playwright. I have hands-on experience leveraging agentic AI tools to accelerate development workflows, automate testing, and improve project quality.
Fun Fact: When I'm not coding, you'll find me exploring the rich lore of Middle-earth or sipping on Adeni chai.

Even the smallest person can change the course of the future
— Galadriel
Software Engineer
- ▸Identified and documented over 200 parameter mismatches across multiple telecom gateway models through Python-based validation automation
- ▸Built a Python automation API to convert large sets of TR-181 (Technical Report 181) data model (a public data model that is used as a reference for telecom companies) parameters into a structured Excel report, for validation with device data model
- ▸Diagnosed and engineered a fix for false-positive results in SSID automation by identifying undocumented requirements for a commit operation and integrating auto-commit logic into the test framework
- ▸Designed and implemented backend test-automation services in Python for gateway data models with integrated parameter validation workflows
- ▸Enhanced gateway deployment reliability through comprehensive input boundary testing and error handling mechanisms
- ▸Collaborated with QA and DevOps engineers to define validation logic, document processes, and support CI/CD-ready testing practices
- ▸Tools: Python, BitBucket, Jira, Confluence, VS Code, Terminal/Bash
Software Engineering Internship (Remote | Part-time)
- ▸Developed and deployed a full-stack journaling web app with secure authentication, profile management, and dynamic content delivery
- ▸Strengthened DB security by implementing RLS (Row-Level Security), role-based access, and Supabase triggers; reduced potential data leaks to 0% in tests
- ▸Built automated Playwright test suites (UI, auth flows, accessibility); cut manual QA cycle time from ~2 days to <2 hours
- ▸Improved site reliability by debugging and optimizing auth bootstrap, reducing session load errors by 80% across dev/preview builds
- ▸Integrated Git/GitHub workflows, CI/CD prep for Vercel, and migration scripts for schema/index optimizations (write-heavy performance)
- ▸Tech Stack: React, TypeScript, Supabase (Postgres, Auth, RLS), Playwright, Vercel, Git/GitHub, Node.js, TailwindCSS
IT Systems Engineer
- ▸Automated and standardized provisioning workflows for enterprise scanner devices, supporting scalability of deployments for major clients
- ▸Assisted in server and network hardware installation across IDF (Intermediate Distribution Frame) and MDF(Main Distribution Frame) environments
- ▸Documented deployment procedures and technical configurations to support repeatable rollouts
- ▸Collaborated with deployment teams to track, test, and document device configurations, improving turnaround time and consistency across IT rollouts
