I'm a young developer and Discord bot creator in Cairo, Egypt. I write C for Linux and Wayland, build bots in Python that query player rankings across multiple tierlist APIs, and investigate client memory to detect injected cheats during live screenshares.

Outside programming, I've been a kickboxing athlete for a couple of years in Giza and a tier tester in the Vanilla Tier List (peak HT3 Vanilla, currently LT3).

Featured Work

MedicalBookingHub TypeScript, React 19, Express, PostgreSQL

Full-stack telemedicine and healthcare appointment booking platform with bilingual EN/AR localization, RTL support, RBAC permissions, concurrent slot locking, in-app consultation messaging, and multi-provider transactional email.

Cairo Crosshair App C, Wayland, Cairo, Qt6

Native Wayland screen reticle overlay daemon that renders anti-aliased crosshairs on the overlay layer surface with input passthrough. Reloads configuration at runtime via SIGUSR1 signals and pairs with a native Qt6 configuration GUI.

spoff Python, mpv IPC, CAVA, D-Bus

TUI Music player that streams tracks from YouTube Music while syncing Spotify metadata and playlists. Controls a background mpv process over a Unix domain socket, renders a spectrum visualizer via a cava FIFO pipe, and exports a D-Bus MPRIS 2 interface for hardware media keys and Waybar.

Tierlist Discord Bot Python, discord.py, Tierlist APIs

Discord bot that fetches verified player tiers by querying tierlist APIs across multiple tier lists (TLs). Resolves in-game usernames to permanent Mojang UUIDs and parses live tiers.

dotfiles Hyprland, Lua, Kitty, Fish

Personal Arch Linux and CachyOS setup configured for minimal input latency using tearing and direct scanout. Built around a dark Oxocarbon palette across Neovim, Kitty, and DankMaterialShell, with a non-destructive symlink installer and rollback script.

Operations and Anti-Cheat

I also staff and handle anti-cheat detections for competitive Minecraft communities:

Vanilla Tier List (VTL): Tier tester evaluating mechanics such as hit crystals, anchors, safe anchors, crystaling speed, and toteming speed.
VanillaPvp Club: Community moderation, reviewing reported duel clips for reach modifications and cheats/macros, and enforcing player bans.
Cpvpprac: Monitored live TotemGuard alerts, separated autototem packet injections from latency spikes, and performed in-depth screenshares (JVM thread dumps, System Informer string searches, Windows Prefetch, and NTFS USN journal analysis).
Decree SMP and EgyPrac: High-concurrency server moderation and security investigations into player harassment and doxxing threats.
