Sherif Tarabishy

I started in architectural engineering, taught design technology and ran a digital fabrication lab. That background shapes how I build software today: as systems where people, tools and environments must work together.

For the past 15 years I have led engineering teams across multiple products while staying hands-on in the ones that matter most. I combine technology, applied ML and scalable infrastructure to help architects and engineers collaborate, make informed decisions and shape the built environment.
