Where Engineering Meets Entrepreneurship

IT Leader AI Founder C|EH Certified PMP Trained Forensics Expert

I'm a bilingual IT leader and startup founder with over a decade of experience building and securing enterprise infrastructure across MENA and Europe. I combine deep technical expertise in systems architecture and cybersecurity with the strategic thinking of a founder.

As a court-appointed digital forensics expert at the Tribunal de Première Instance de Jendouba, I've conducted 7 official judicial investigations — working at the precise intersection of law and technology.

Today I'm channeling that expertise into Tip Talk, an AI-powered real estate operating system I'm building to transform how investors analyse, design, and finance property remotely.
