A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ME
About Helmy
I'm an Egyptian American engineer who's spent the past 20 years living between Egypt and the U.S. I've built a career in tech, earned two master's degrees—one in a technical field and an MBA—and co-founded a business that I helped grow before eventually going through an exit. Along the way, I've learned what it's like to build a life in a different country and figure things out as you go.
I've also gained years of firsthand experience investing and building wealth. I've made smart decisions, expensive mistakes, and a few lucky calls. Each one shaped how I approach money today.
I became the go-to guy for friends and family on personal finance, investing, credit cards, travel rewards, and big financial decisions.
Think of me as your financially curious older brother—someone who's done the research, tried things firsthand, made mistakes, and wants to help you think through your next decision.
Say hello →WHY MONEY WITH HELMY
Money decisions should be easier to understand.
There's plenty of information about money. The challenge is knowing what matters for your situation and what to do next.
I started Money with Helmy to share what worked, what didn't, and what I wish someone had told me sooner.
We'll cover spending smarter, saving, investing, real estate, and building wealth, plus cashback, credit card rewards, and travel points—ways to get more value from money you're already spending, without spending extra just to earn rewards.
I'll bring perspectives from both Egypt and the U.S., along with practical uses of technology and AI that can save time and simplify everyday decisions.
My goal is to help you make smarter money decisions with more confidence.
If something I share helps even one person, I'll consider this effort a success.
