About

An engineer who builds the whole stack — metal to model.

I'm Kyrollos Farah — friends and clients call me Kero. I'm a Coptic Egyptian-American engineer based in Anaheim, California, and the founder of MediaVision — the company I started in Egypt in 1996 and carried across the world to Orange County.

I wrote my first programs in 1985, in GW-BASIC on a Sakhr AX-170 — building games and, by 1987, producing entertainment video output: wedding videos, and music intros and outros for churches, scout groups, and schools. I earned a 5-year diploma in electrical and electronics, and a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture — the degree that made me a professional engineer in 1997 — and spent more than eight years teaching high-school students in Egypt to build motherboards and engine-control boards from scratch, hand-drawing PCB traces and acid-etching the boards ourselves.

Through MediaVision I designed fully automated screen, lighting, music, and special-effects control systems for churches and major theatres — including productions staged at Maspero in Cairo under my name — and moved into broadcast: DVD authoring and video conversion pipelines built from scratch, and work with the Arabica TV music channel in 2004 in cooperation with art channels, alongside security-system and internet infrastructure projects across Egypt.

Today my work spans the full range of modern engineering: component-level diagnostics and repair, data recovery, custom gaming and AI workstations, and the complete software systems that run businesses — booking platforms, admin dashboards, inventory systems, client portals, and analytics.

In recent years I've gone deep into AI infrastructure: I designed and operate a private multi-GPU AI server that runs large language models fully in-house — with its own chat platform, client portal, document-search (RAG) system, and automation pipelines. No cloud dependency, complete data privacy.

I also hold a Bachelor's degree in Agriculture, and one of the things I'm proudest of is merging agriculture with computer and electronic control technology — using sensors, automation, and control systems to run machines and growing environments. It's the same instinct behind everything I build: take two worlds and make them work together.

My philosophy is simple: diagnose before you replace, build it right, and stand behind the work. And beyond the technology, my mission is people — I love helping others, lifting them up, and encouraging everyone to stay positive and happy.

Projects that prove it

A selection of systems I've designed, built, and operate.

01

Private AI Cluster & Platform AI Infrastructure — designed, built & operated in-house

A 12-GPU inference cluster (24 GB per card, ~288 GB of VRAM) running large language models entirely on-premises. Includes a public chat platform with client accounts and billing, a document-knowledge (RAG) search system, an AI orchestrator that plans → implements → reviews code autonomously, and automated market-search tools with real-time alerts. Complete with bare-metal disaster-recovery imaging.

MediaVision.us Business Platform Full-stack — live production system

The complete digital backbone of a working repair business: online appointment booking with smart time-slots, device drop-off intake, parts & labor management, technician notes and estimates, client status portal, visitor analytics, newsletter and email workspace — with instant Telegram notifications for every booking. Built lean in PHP/MySQL with zero frameworks.

Theatre Automation & Broadcast Engineering Egypt, 1996–2000s — MediaVision's first era

Designed and built custom control boards and fully automated screen systems for churches, and complete lighting, music, and special-effects control for major theatre productions — including plays staged at Maspero, Cairo, under my own name. Later built DVD-authoring and video-conversion pipelines from scratch and worked with the Arabica TV music channel, alongside security-system and internet infrastructure across Egypt.

Journey

From a Sakhr AX-170 to a 12-GPU AI cluster

1985 — THE FIRST LINE OF CODE

GW-BASIC on a Sakhr AX-170

Wrote my first programs and games on Egypt's legendary MSX machine — the start of everything.

1987 — HANDS-ON BEGINNINGS

Video production & electronics

Turned the machine into a production tool, creating entertainment output for weddings and music intros and outros for churches, scout groups, and schools — and went hands-on with electronics and hardware.

1990s — THE TEACHER

5-year electrical diploma, B.Sc. Agriculture → 8+ years teaching

Earned a 5-year diploma in electrical and electronics and a Bachelor's in Agriculture (the degree behind my engineer title), then taught high-school students in Egypt for more than eight years — showing a generation how to build motherboards and engine-control boards from scratch, hand-drawing PCB traces and acid-etching the boards themselves.

1996–1997 — MEDIAVISION & THE ENGINEER

Professional engineer, theatre automation & show control

Founded MediaVision (1996) and qualified as a professional engineer (1997), building custom boards and fully automated screen systems for churches, plus lighting, music, and special-effects control for major theatre productions — including plays staged at Maspero, Cairo, under my own name.

2004 — THE BROADCAST ERA

Arabica TV & media engineering

Built DVD-authoring and video-conversion pipelines from scratch and worked with the Arabica TV music channel in cooperation with art channels — while delivering security-system and internet infrastructure for sites across Egypt.

2010s — AMERICA & THE FULL STACK

MediaVision in Anaheim, California

Brought MediaVision to Orange County: component-level repair, data recovery, custom builds — and complete web platforms for the business and dozens of clients: booking systems, admin dashboards, e-commerce, hosting and security.

2020s — THE AI ERA

Private AI infrastructure

Designed and now operate a multi-GPU, self-hosted AI platform — local LLMs, RAG knowledge search, autonomous agents, and AI client services. The next chapter of MediaVision.
