Before joining the legal field, Ibrahim worked as an engineer and innovation analyst at a global engineering consultancy, advising on a multibillion‑dollar transportation initiative, guiding autonomous‑vehicle regulatory compliance, managing eminent‑domain and public‑attitude issues, leading feasibility studies and stakeholder negotiations, and building a CADD database that streamlined property‑management workflows. He began his career as a graduate research assistant at a university‑affiliated transportation research center, developing GIS‑ and census‑based metrics to support equitable infrastructure funding, collaborating on connected‑ and autonomous‑vehicle policy studies, conducting safety modeling, and leading community outreach that increased committee membership.
