Dany Rashwan

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering from the University of Florida, graduated in 2024. Originally from Alexandria, Egypt, I founded a Photography and Digital Art business before relocating to the U.S. in 2018. My experience spans hands-on projects in Machine Learning at Flapmax, where I focused on enhancing doctor-patient relationships and medical imaging, as well as contributing to robotics research as an Undergraduate Robotics Engineer. These experiences have shaped my passion for applying technology to advance healthcare solutions.

Currently, I serve as an Autonomous Systems Engineer at Rovex Technologies Corporation, where I drive innovation in hospital logistics through the development and deployment of autonomous mobile robots. I am committed to exploring the frontiers of robotics and automation, with a focus on designing solutions that enhance operational efficiency and elevate patient care standards.
