04 / THE PERSON BEHIND THE WORK

Curiosity connects
the chapters.

I’m Moheb Mikhael. My path brings together biological sciences, software, cybersecurity, and a future in podiatric medicine.

A shared beginning. A future in podiatric medicine.

A LITTLE ABOUT ME

Medicine and engineering.
Both deeply human.

I’m a DPM student at Samuel Merritt University College of Podiatric Medicine (SMUCPM), Class of 2030, and an aspiring foot and ankle surgeon. I’m also a full-stack and cybersecurity engineer, and the founder of Smillin Healthcare Tech.

I see engineering as a way to turn ideas into something useful. Studying medicine adds another dimension: a closer understanding of the people, questions, and responsibilities behind healthcare.

Outside the work, this chapter is about community, friendship, and learning alongside my classmates.
