Q: What does a typical day look like for you?

A: Every day is different, but my most common everyday activities always include checking my schedule, to-dos for the day, collaborating with my team, and having productive communication with our clients. Meetings and site visits as well.

Q: What do you most like about your job?

A: It is always rewarding to feel that we were able to help our client in achieving their project goals.

Q: What is your favorite project to date?

A: My favorite project till date was the first project I worked on in the very beginning of my professional life, it was an international airport terminal for a very beautiful coastal city in Egypt called Hurghada. Not only due to my excitement as a fresh graduate for this opportunity to work on such a sophisticated project, but also due to my madness about aviation, I’ve always loved flying, aircrafts, take-offs, landings, engines. terminals. I learned a lot about our industry because of this project.

Q: What is your favorite architectural style?

A: I really appreciate all types of historical Architecture, but Gothic and Renaissance Architecture always renders me speechless.

Q: What do you do in your spare time?

A: I love spending quality time with my family, trying new local restaurants and cuisines. I also enjoy capturing Architectural images and videos using drones and cameras.

Q: What is your favorite quote?

A: “Or what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” – Jesus Christ
