Hi, I'm Mohanad Elagan
Developer/Researcher - Graphic Designer - Writer
About Me
Welcome!
I'm Mohanad Elagan, an undergraduate student pursuing a B.S. degree in Engineering Physics and Biochemistry. I combine engineering, science, and creative technology to build thoughtful, real-world solutions. My work spans software development, biomedical research, and digital design, all centered on tackling complex problems with innovation and precision.
Outside of technical projects, I explore storytelling through beatboxing, photography/designing, and poetry, always seeking new ways to express ideas and reimagine what's possible.
Driven by a desire to explore uncharted knowledge—whether in code, medicine, or design—and constantly ask "what's next?"
Blending engineering, biology, and the arts to create impactful solutions that live at the intersection of science and creativity.
Committed to detail-oriented work, from clinical modeling to full-stack development—where accuracy and clarity are critical.
Always seeking opportunities to learn, iterate, and expand my skillset through hands-on challenges, research, and mentorship.
