Belal Amin

A July 2026 profile from We Are Tech Africa describes Belal as an Egyptian engineer. The profile lists a 2016 bachelor's in computer and communications engineering from Alexandria University. A master's in electrical and electronics engineering followed at the University of Oulu in Finland, in 2020. The same profile says Belal completed a PhD in mixed-signal integrated circuit design in 2025.

Belal started out in 2016 at Smartera 3S Solutions and Systems in Egypt, first as a natural language processing researcher and then as a full-stack engineer. From 2018 to 2020, Belal founded and managed Nerdsboard, a software development and IT solutions company. The profile lists Belal at Texas Instruments in Finland from June 2023 to March 2026, as a mixed-signal circuit design verification engineer.

The profile calls BrainsMingle a digital platform that Belal co-founded and leads. It dates the founding to 2024, and Wamda also says 2024. The platform aims to take professional networking beyond short messages and passive connections, toward direct conversations, specialized communities and structured meetings built on shared interests. It names three kinds of users: professionals who want to expand their networks and build skills, experts and trainers who want to earn from their knowledge, and community managers who organize and engage members. Sessions come as one-on-one mentor meetings, thematic workshops, group sessions and speed networking events.

Wamda reported on June 30, 2026 that BrainsMingle raised a $400,000 seed investment from BasharSoft Group. Wamda says Belal and Yousef Gamal founded the company in 2024, and calls it BasharSoft's first strategic investment since acquiring iCareer. In the BrainsMingle press release on the Wamda page, Belal, listed as co-founder and CEO, says the most valuable professional moments happen between people, not between people and content. The release says the platform serves experts, communities and ambitious professionals worldwide.
