Hello! I am Sherif. Born in Paris, grew up in Cairo and lived in London since 2003. I am a lapsed civil engineer, an entrepreneur, startup advisor, and policy, tech and science nerd. This is my personal space, some of the ideas here are mature, some are at best half baked and others are random thoughts that may or may not have any value. I indicate where I think every piece of writing falls.
I always like to hear about new ideas that challenge and change the status quo for the better. Doing what we’ve always done doesn’t tend to move the world forward.
Writing (coming soon)

A new internet - a quieter, high quallity internet built for the people who use it. Curated search and discovery; users control the ads they see; publishers, artists and creators decide how their content is used. People not bots.
AI Data exchanges - a technical, commercial and legal framework for sharing propriteray and sensitive data that enables ML & AI R&D and solutions development. Curated large datasets for specific problem areas to unlock new solution development; IP framework and fair revenue sharing.
A greener way to build - ways to build homes, schools, hospitals and infrastrcuture for hundreds of millions of people with a much lower carbon footprint. Solutions that can scale, from materials to biulding design and city planning. Liveable, beautiful cities.
