The full résumé
Mostafa sketching on a tablet

I’m a product design lead based in Cairo, open to remote work and relocation. I combine end-to-end UX research, design-system ownership, and team mentoring with hands-on frontend engineering.

Across fintech, government, insurance, blockchain, and logistics, I connect research to delivery—including PwC and Deloitte engagements across the UAE and KSA. My computer engineering background helps me bridge design and implementation.
