Outside
the lines.

I co-founded 3alemny and lead its technical development, including the platform architecture, AI integration, database, and interface. The product brings study tools for the Egyptian curriculum into one web platform.

I demonstrated the platform at sports clubs and youth centres and worked with teachers and alumni on curriculum coverage and feature feedback. I used demonstrations and a feedback survey to gather suggestions for product revisions.

As Secretary-General, I lead the student team preparing BISCMUN XIV. My work includes coordinating with participating schools and the school administration, organising delegation information, and following up on committee preparation.

For the 3–5 December 2026 conference, I have coordinated school-specific delegation forms, registration follow-up, chair-report revisions, and opening-ceremony invitations.

I served as a President at The Hague International Model United Nations (THIMUN) in 2026.

I serve on the senior leadership team of DSAMUN, a THIMUN-affiliated conference in Greece. My responsibilities include committee operations and supporting the delegate experience across participating schools and countries.

I reviewed how spent coffee grounds interact with heavy metals in water and soil, examining adsorption mechanisms, preparation methods, and experimental conditions. Sabrina Hu, a PhD candidate at the University of Cambridge, mentored the research.

The review was published in the National High School Journal of Science. It examines both potential applications and the limitations of comparing results from different laboratory studies.

During my five-week placement with Meta’s Global Policy team, I researched young people’s use of AI with a fellow intern. We combined literature reviews with an exploratory survey of 20 peers and developed executive policy notes on cognitive offloading.

I presented our findings to my supervisor and policy professionals, then revised the work in response to their feedback. Our recommendations included asking students to attempt a problem before using AI, offering hints, and keeping teachers involved.

We also built Anchor, a cognitive-practice prototype, and shared the deployed version with our supervisor. It gave us a way to explore our research questions through product development.

I created Zuki’s Chemistry Kitchen to explain what changes during cooking. I built the website and organised its explanations around ingredients, temperature, and technique, connecting observable results to the chemistry behind them.

Through Zuki Cooks, I create dishes and document the preparation and presentation through photography. I also demonstrated my cooking on El Hekaya, hosted by Amr Adib.

Professional kitchen work and visits to Cairo Food Week have added to this practice. Questions about temperature, texture, and technique led me to build Zuki’s Chemistry Kitchen.

I co-founded the Engineering & Innovation Club at the British International School, Cairo. I recruit and mentor younger students and help them plan practical engineering projects.

I helped develop the plan for an air-quality monitoring project, working through what the device should measure and how we would test it.

I lead the school’s Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Club and organise STEM Week. My work includes olympiad preparation, science fairs, and coordinating workshops with teachers and external speakers.

I work with Xedu as a partner and lead developer on its SAT preparation platform. My work includes adaptive practice examinations, drills, and progress tracking that helps tutors see where students need support.

During my four-week KarmSolar placement, I researched the company’s four business lines and prepared a presentation for my supervisor. I explained how generation, microgrids, geographical distribution, and urban distribution fit into its energy business.

My assigned analytical work also covered project performance and income statements, introducing me to the financial decisions behind energy projects.

At Imperial College London’s Global Summer School, I studied molecular structure, bonding, and chemical analysis. Practical work included synthesising dyes, identifying functional groups with infrared spectroscopy, and building and controlling a LEGO spectrometer.

I used coding and computational modelling to explore chemical systems, took part in medicinal chemistry and Chemical Kitchen activities, and developed and presented a group solution in the interdisciplinary Innovation Challenge.

I worked full-time in kitchen operations at Eatery on Egypt’s North Coast in August 2023, August 2024, and July 2025. During busy service periods, I assisted with food preparation, plating, and kitchen organisation while following hygiene and safety standards.

I have played piano since I was six and started the Trinity College London programme in 2017. I have achieved Grade 6 and am working towards Grade 8.

My practice includes learning repertoire, working through difficult passages, and deciding how to phrase and interpret a piece.

I created a garden at home and grew more than 15 types of fruits, vegetables, herbs, and cacti. I make compost and fertiliser from household food scraps, and use pH tests and home lab kits to assess soil and adapt it for different plants.

I played competitive table tennis at Gezira Sporting Club in Cairo from 2021 to 2023. I continue to play recreationally every week.

I volunteered in food packing for people experiencing homelessness in Egypt, helping prepare food for distribution as part of an organised group effort.

I built Lumi’s maths and literacy lesson interface for younger children, experimenting with colour, navigation, and visual rewards to make each activity easy to follow.

I am developing Nano to explore running a language model on my own computer. The project involves configuring local inference and examining how available hardware affects response speed and memory requirements.

I developed a playable card-battle prototype with 16 cards and friendly online matches, using AI-assisted development tools.

Anchor grew out of our research on cognitive offloading during the Meta internship. I worked with a fellow intern to turn the research questions into a prototype and shared a deployed version with our supervisor in August 2026.

The project brought together our policy research and product work: we explored how an AI-powered interface could encourage users to stay involved in the thinking process.

Built a browser jetpack game with missions, upgrades, and saved progress, supporting both guest play and accounts.

A workspace for files and small apps, with accounts, sharing, version history, and a local-first core.

Built a website and portal prototype to introduce the club, explain proposed engineering projects, and organise member resources.

Built and published a portfolio bringing my research, projects, and activities into one place.
