Systems engineer · Technical product manager · Researcher & teacher

I’m Ahmed Sadek. My background is in cyber-physical systems, control, and modeling, and I’m an Associate Professor in Computers and Systems Engineering at Minia University.

I enjoy the part of product work where a choice has to be made: what to build first, what to simplify, and what needs more evidence. That’s where I bring my engineering background—especially when software has to work with people, everyday processes, or physical systems.

These four developed concept studies show how I work through product decisions across AI, healthcare, industrial systems, and school operations. Each includes a concrete scenario, alternatives, testable requirements, a screen walkthrough, and a validation plan. The assumptions are explicit; customer interviews, prototypes, and pilot results are future work.

AI Operations Copilot From incident notes to reviewed follow-up tasks: evidence, ambiguity, and the economics of saving a few minutes. Read the case →	Clinical Workflow Following a laboratory visit from registration to reporting, including mismatched specimens and corrected records. Read the case →
Predictive Maintenance Starting with useful signals and explainable alerts before asking a model to predict failures. Read the case →	Safe School Pickup Making pickup easier to coordinate, with clear authorization and a staff-confirmed handover. Read the case →

Code makes the details harder to avoid. These repositories explore the practical side: bilingual interfaces, integrations, operational workflows, and the work behind a usable product.

I have a PhD in Cyber-Physical Systems. My research includes wind-energy systems, real-time control, system emulation, and autonomous platforms. That work keeps me interested in what happens beyond the screen: timing, uncertainty, physical constraints, and how a system behaves when conditions change.

You’ll find my papers under Ahmed Moustafa and Ahmed M. Moustafa.

• Energy systems: wind-energy survey and hydrogen-storage control.
• Real-time control: wind-turbine emulation and model predictive control.
• Autonomous systems: quadrotor control, lane keeping, and the TORCS Simulink Client.

I start with the work someone is trying to do. Then I look at the constraints, compare a few realistic options, and choose a small enough scope to learn from.

A few questions keep me honest: What evidence supports this? What are we giving up? What would make us change our minds?

Teaching and research are part of this picture too. I want the reasoning to be clear enough for someone else to question it, whether it ends up in a classroom, a technical discussion, or a product decision.

If you’re working on a product where the engineering and the day-to-day workflow are tightly connected, I’d be glad to compare notes.
