CS + Math Student
Making ideas real through code, curiosity, and a little bit of chaos.
About Me
Hi, I'm Mohamed — a CS & Math student at Washington and Lee University, born and raised in Egypt. I'm passionate about solving complex problems and building impactful, scalable solutions. I enjoy working across the stack, with a growing focus on backend systems, performance, and infrastructure. Outside of tech, I love long walks, late-night FIFA matches, and trying out new recipes — especially when I get to improvise.
