Book a mentorship session with Haitham on Upnotch
Over fifteen years of experience across industry and academia, with a journey that’s taken me through three continents—Africa, Asia, and North America. With a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering and previous engineering roles, I’ve learned how to combine the practical demands of industry with the rigor of research to create real-world solutions that make an impact. Along the way, I’ve acquired many skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, project and time management, technical writing, and research planning, and I enjoy sharing those lessons in a way that’s both practical and relatable.
As a mentor, I can offer,
Support in areas that matter most day to day: managing time, staying productive, building resilience, and overcoming procrastination and beating imposter syndrome and navigate the transition from academia to industry with confidence. I’m especially passionate about helping people that would like to design and build a resilient mindset that helps them grow personally, socially and finically. My mentoring style is insightful, strategic, and supportive—I aim to be an ally in your journey of mindset and career growth.
What I’m seeking in a mentee,
Someone curious, open, and ready to grow. I see mentoring as a two-way exchange built on honesty, curiosity, and a willingness to try new approaches. Together, we’ll work through challenges, explore opportunities, and build the confidence to not only reach your goals but exceed them with clarity and purpose.
