Early life and education
Mikail was born in Zurich, Switzerland, into a Swiss-Egyptian family. He spent part of his early life in Egypt before returning to Switzerland.
He studied civil engineering at Beni-Suef University from 2009 to 2014, graduating with a Bachelor of Science with a focus on structural engineering. He later completed postgraduate training in structural software informatics at the Information Technology Institute in Cairo in 2015–2016, as well as additional training in building information modeling technologies.
Career
Kreckox
In 2017, Mikail founded Kreckox, a Zurich-based engineering and software development initiative focused on digital methods in architecture, engineering, and construction.
Through Kreckox, he has worked on the development of software tools, automation workflows, and computational design approaches related to building information modeling (BIM) and infrastructure projects. The initiative has been associated with the application of programming and data-driven methods to engineering processes, including modelling, interoperability, and workflow optimisation.
Kreckox has functioned as a platform for research and development in areas such as parametric design, OpenBIM standards, and the integration of software engineering practices into civil and structural engineering.
Software development and digital engineering
Between 2018 and 2020, Mikail worked as a BIM and software developer in the Swiss engineering sector, contributing to the development of digital design workflows and automation tools for architecture, engineering, and construction applications.
His work included the creation of software extensions, parametric modelling solutions, and data-processing tools aimed at improving interdisciplinary collaboration and workflow efficiency.
Infrastructure and environmental engineering
Mikail worked as a structural engineer and BIM specialist on infrastructure and environmental engineering projects in Switzerland, particularly in areas related to water, underground works, and transport infrastructure.
His work included contributions to wastewater-treatment facilities such as the ARA Basel project, as well as involvement in infrastructure projects related to underground and energy systems, including work associated with national waste-disposal programmes. He also contributed to the modelling and design of multiple railway station platforms and rail-related infrastructure.
Engineering consultancy and infrastructure projects
Mikail worked as a structural engineer and software developer at an international engineering consultancy in Zurich.
During this period, he contributed to infrastructure and energy-related projects, including railway systems and civil engineering works. His work focused on digital modelling, construction simulation, and the implementation of open data standards in engineering workflows.
University Hospital Zurich
From 2022 to 2024, Mikail held a position as a BIM application manager at the University Hospital Zurich.
In this role, he was responsible for implementing BIM methodologies across facility management processes, establishing a common data environment, and contributing to the development of digital twin approaches for managing building information.
Rail infrastructure and automation
Since 2023, Mikail has worked as a Senior BIM Automation Engineer in the Swiss rail sector.
His work has included contributions to multiple railway infrastructure projects across Switzerland, involving both new construction and the upgrading of existing systems. He has developed automation tools for modelling, data integration, and construction monitoring, and has contributed to the application of open standards in infrastructure engineering.
He has also participated in industry-related events and conferences concerning digital engineering and rail infrastructure.
Work and research areas
Mikail's work centres on the integration of software engineering with civil and structural engineering, particularly through the use of OpenBIM methodologies and the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) standard.
He has worked with programming languages including C#, Python, and JavaScript, and has contributed to the development of tools and workflows for BIM platforms and digital engineering environments.
His areas of activity include infrastructure engineering, building construction, and digital modelling, with an emphasis on interoperability, automation, and data-driven design processes.
Personal life
Mikail holds dual Swiss and Egyptian citizenship and is based in Zurich. He is fluent in Arabic, English, and German, and also speaks Italian.
