Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKareem Shehata is a founder and CEO with a deep grounding in cryptography and theoretical computer science and over 20 years of practical software engineering experience. Based in Singapore, he combines academic rigor—as a PhD candidate in Computer Science at the National University of Singapore—with a track record of hands-on engineering across robotics, embedded systems, and large-scale software at companies including Google and Clearpath. He has led teams and product development from low-level firmware and real-time control to cloud-backed mobile platforms, and has repeatedly driven architecture and process improvements like CI adoption and pluggable system designs. As an operator-founder he pairs strategic leadership with willingness to get into the weeds—“chief bottle washer” is how he describes his role at Ammit—bringing both startup grit and enterprise-grade engineering discipline. His background in aerospace-grade hardware, mission control software, and IP video makes him unusually comfortable bridging hardware, systems, and research-driven security challenges.
