My path into data started in engineering. Trained in aeronautical engineering, I spent my early career designing and modelling complex systems — including a UAV platform built for archaeological reconnaissance in Egypt — where every assumption had to be tested against real-world constraints. That habit of rigorous, evidence-based thinking has stayed with me ever since.

I moved into business and process analysis as a consultant at ELIS in Milan, coordinating data collection across departments, tracking KPIs, and producing the reports that Top Management used to make decisions. It was there that I saw how much value sits in well-structured data — and how often it goes untapped.

Today, as Senior Specialist for Sales Forecasting at Sky Italia, I design predictive models for prospect sales and the active customer base, and build the dashboards and advanced analytics the commercial organisation relies on for top-line and retention KPIs. My focus is turning a stack of spreadsheets into a system: reliable, explainable, and easy for stakeholders to act on.

Outside my core role, I keep building toward where data is heading next — completing a Java & microservices programme, earning a diploma in Blockchain & Digital Assets, and volunteering at AI Week Milan, Europe’s largest AI conference. I work fluently in Italian, English and Arabic, and enjoy collaborating with international, cross-functional teams.
