I'm Mohamed, a technology leader, AI architect, and developer based in Abu Dhabi. Born and raised here, Egyptian by origin. I run all technology and AI for Ripple Collective, which means I spend my days somewhere between writing code, designing systems, and sitting in rooms where business decisions get made. I like that intersection. Most of my best work lives there.
I studied Computer Science at the University of Prince Edward Island in Canada, specializing in video game design. My thesis was an Augmented Reality experience that blended spatial computing with AI, the kind of project that teaches you to think about technology as something people feel, not just something they use.
I'm currently doing my MSc in Computer Science at the University of York. The rest of the time I'm deep in production systems, leading teams, and trying to make AI do things it probably wasn't supposed to do yet.
At Ripple Collective, I own everything technology. If it touches a screen, a server, or a data pipeline, it's mine. I build the platforms people work on, the AI systems that make their decisions faster, and the infrastructure that holds it all together. Web development, e-commerce, internal tools, dashboards, automation, AI, Web3 projects for external clients. The range is wide because the problems are.
I got here by doing the work at every level first. That path gave me perspective you don't get by starting at the top, and it's why I can talk to engineers and executives in the same meeting without switching languages.
I believe the best technology disappears. It doesn't announce itself, it just makes everything around it faster, clearer, and more effortless. That's what I try to build: systems where the complexity is hidden and the value is obvious.
I'm drawn to problems that sit between disciplines, where engineering meets design, where data meets decision-making, where AI meets the messy reality of how people actually work. Those edges are where interesting things happen.
I like staying active, being outdoors, and traveling. New cities recalibrate how I see problems. The best ideas I've had came from being somewhere unfamiliar and paying attention.
I think in systems and build for fun, creative coding sketches with p5.js, game prototypes, generative art. I speak Arabic natively and English fluently, and I'm slowly picking up French and Portuguese because I like the way learning a language rewires how you think.
I like making things that feel effortless to use but were hard to build. The kind of work where nobody notices the technology because it just works. That gap between complexity and simplicity is where I want to spend my time.
