A structural engineer building AI for the problems I met in practice.

I trained as a civil engineer in Egypt, graduating with an A+ steel-structures project. I then spent a year at National Consulting Engineers producing structural calculations and drawings for more than 115 façade and secondary-structure packages to US codes. That work taught me how engineering information is actually produced, checked and handed over.

I moved to Belfast for an MSc in Digital Construction Analytics and BIM at Ulster University and graduated with Distinction. My industry project with AECOM linked crack detection to a Revit model and Power BI. My dissertation benchmarked YOLO, U-Net and FPN models for concrete defects and then tested them on real site imagery from an industry partner.

I am co-founder and CTO of AECAI, an AI-assisted structural inspection platform, and I carry out R&D at AGECS on CAD-to-BIM drawing AI and Scan-to-BIM. The common thread is turning photos, drawings and scans into engineering data that people can trust and act on.
