Experience

  • University of Toronto

    Course Design Head Teaching Assistant

    Revamped the APS106 Python Programming Fundamentals course structure by restructuring the course syllabus, introducing new student-centered tutorials and labs on contemporary engineering problems and interactive modules, and setting up the server using python scripts for simultaneously auto-grading 300+ students, resulting in TAs focusing more on teaching as well as receiving higher student evaluations for the course than previous years.

  • University of Toronto

    Senior Resident Advisor

    Led a team to provide 24/7 supervision and support within the residence and build a strong community by organizing programs and events, mediating conflicts, providing referrals, and responding to emergencies, which created a successful support network of 120+ local and international students.

  • University of Toronto

    Ph.D Candidate

    Formulated and verified a closed form mathematical expression for analyzing irregular 3D massive antenna structures including element positioning and orientation to create new reconfigurable and versatile antenna architectures for 5G and beyond, doubling the capacity of wireless channels in urban, suburban, and highway areas, and optimizing vehicular Massive MIMO antennas for speeds up to 500 km/h.

  • University of Toronto

    Course Instructor

    Led a team of teaching and lab assistants to teach Python for underperforming students repeating the course, by fostering a community-centered approach to empower students’ curiosity to learn and excel, resulting in a 7% higher class average than previous course iterations and winning the university-wide course instructor award.

  • Microsoft

    Software Engineer Intern

    Designed and demonstrated the first data warehouse in Egypt using C++ to revamp and reorganize the online Microsoft store for Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Azure purchases, now successfully launched online.

  • ITWorx

    Software Quality Assurance Engineer Intern

    Categorized and documented errors in C++ and Java developers’ outputs by preparing test cases to ensure quality assurance and reliability; was able to consistently detect errors after two revisions by Quality Control Engineers.

  • IBM

    System Support Engineer

    Led IBM’s Cloud Infrastructure for high availability clusters on Unix and Linux and documented technical requirements for Administrators to ensure client servers operate normally during system failures, resulting in less overall critical failures for tens of multiple billion-dollar companies
