ABOUT·Summary

Two disciplines, one operating system.

I'm a fifth-year medical student at October 6 University in Egypt, preparing for USMLE Step 1 and pursuing clinical rotations in the United States.

In parallel, I design and ship production software — the kind of medical-education platforms real students rely on every day.

I work at the seam between the clinic and the codebase, and I'm aiming to carry both into a US training path.
