Bio

I am a PhD student at the eXascale Infolab/University of Fribourg. I previously worked as a data science and big data developer at IBM Egypt. My work included building big data tools for analysing real time events in telecom and social media applications. My research interests include distributed systems, databases, machine learning and big data applications.
