Mahmoud Abdelrahman (Ouf)
Hi, I’m Mahmoud Abdelrahman (Ouf) — I love data ❤️ and building tools around it. I’m a hands-on researcher who learns by doing. I’m interested in the joint area between buildings, cities, human behaviour, and systems. I admire architecture (as art), buildings as science, and technology as a means. I work on applied research, and I co-founded 4dt.io, a digital-twin platform. I lead teams by setting clear direction and trusting people to own their work. I value flexible cultures built on independence and autonomy, and I love working with students and teammates who take ownership and show initiative.
