Technical Roots. Global Perspective. Ecosystem Focus.
I’m an Industrial Engineer working at the intersection of hardware commercialization, industry fieldwork, and innovation ecosystems—connecting technical product development, manufacturing resources, market intelligence, and regional networks.
Engineering First
I trained as an Industrial Engineer in France and built my career around technically complex products, product integration, customer needs, and the path from engineering decisions to commercial adoption.
Across Ecosystems
Raised in Cairo, educated in France, shaped professionally by the Bay Area, and now based in San Diego, I’ve experienced how different technical and entrepreneurial ecosystems create—and sometimes constrain—opportunity.
Connecting The Pieces
My current work focuses on connecting technical product development, manufacturing resources, market intelligence, and founder networks to help hardware technologies move toward real-world adoption.
A Home For The Work
Soleil & Stone is a personal platform for the communities, field observations, and projects I’m building around hardware commercialization, industry engagement, and innovation ecosystems.
The name reflects the places that shaped me: “Soleil” connects to France and the California coast, while “Stone” carries a connection to Egypt, permanence, and the idea that meaningful things are built on strong foundations.
The goal is to document what I’m learning from the field, bring thoughtful people together, and create useful connections between technical ideas, people, manufacturing resources, and execution.
