Founder of PremastLab and CTO of hiiive in Berlin. I’ve shipped products since 2016, and today I build them with AI agents.
Portrait made with AI from my own photos
A studio I founded, the AI company I help lead, and two products of my own.
Founder and CEO, since 2017
My design and development studio in Ismailia, and the products it runs: Premast for presentations and the Maatix marketplace.
CTO, since December 2025
An AI product company in Berlin. We build AI agents and software, and put them to work inside German companies.

It gives Claude, GPT and Gemini real build tasks, then counts which developer tools they actually install.

My AI assistant, 2026
It lives on my Mac, iPhone and iPad. I give it a job, it plans it, I approve, and it does the work in the background.

livetongue.com (LiveTongue)Built PremastLab in Egypt, now CTO at hiiive in Berlin.
I studied computer science at Suez Canal University and taught programming for four years. In 2016 I designed my first presentation template on the side. I called it Bedaya, Arabic for “beginning”, and put it on Envato to test one idea: that design can be a product, not only a service.
That template became Premast: 10,000+ templates and plugins for PowerPoint and Google Slides. Premast grew into PremastLab, the studio in Ismailia that builds our own products and work for clients.
Today I’m CTO of hiiive, where we build AI agents and software for German companies, often in weeks: a trade-show game in two, a solar marketplace in eight. I also lead software engineering and AI at Wavelr and Birdy in Cologne, and I still run PremastLab.
There’s always a new idea on my bench. Most of what I build now, I build with AI, and some of it is for AI. Jarvis is my own assistant. InstallRate watches what coding agents install. Crewbase puts people and agents on one task board.
I speak about building companies with AI, for founders, developers and students.
