My Journey Into Technology
This page chronicles my path from childhood curiosity to professional software engineering expertise. Each milestone represents a significant learning experience that shaped my approach to technology and problem-solving.
Every great journey begins with curiosity. Mine started with a simple question: “How do things work?”
From dismantling remote-controlled cars to understand their mechanics, to building my first robotic arm with custom software. my path into technology has been driven by an insatiable desire to create, innovate, and solve problems.
This is the story of how childhood curiosity evolved into professional expertise, and how each challenge along the way shaped me into the software engineer I am today.
Early Technology Exploration
Childhood - 2014My early enthusiasm for engineering and technology led me to participate in national robotics competitions, such as Minesweeper, which challenged me to create functional and innovative robotic solutions.
This period taught me to think systematically about complex problems and sparked my passion for building solutions that matter.
University & Programming Foundation
2014 - 2018Computer Science at Misr University for Science and Technology - where my fascination with technology transformed into structured learning.
- Deep dive into programming and software engineering principles
- Active participation in programming competitions
- Collaborative projects that turned theory into tangible results
Graduation Project: Robotic Arm
2017 - 2018A 1.5-year multidisciplinary project that became the cornerstone of my engineering education - designing and building a robotic arm controlled by custom software.
🎯 Key Achievements
- Integrated hardware and software in a complex system
- Created user-friendly interface for precise robotic control
- Gained hands-on experience with manufacturing processes
🔧 Technology Stack
iOS Development Transition
2018A pivotal decision that would define my career: specializing in iOS development with Swift despite significant challenges.
The Challenge
- Limited Arabic resources - strengthened technical English skills
- Small local community - learned to leverage global communities
- Rapid technology changes - developed adaptive learning strategies
Key Breakthroughs
- Systematic learning approach - small projects to test concepts
- First complete iOS app - authentication, API integration, Core Data
- Problem-solving mindset - experimentation when solutions weren’t available
“The best opportunities often come disguised as challenges. This transition taught me to embrace the unknown and build systematic learning habits that define my professional approach today.”
