I'm from Amman, Jordan, and study electrical and computer engineering at Carnegie Mellon. Moving between places, systems, and expectations has taught me to get comfortable with unfamiliar problems and to stay curious long enough to understand them.

I'm increasingly interested in taking on bigger problems: the messy, consequential ones that sit at the intersection of technology, systems, and people. I like figuring out what the real problem is, asking better questions, and building things that make a meaningful difference rather than just adding more noise.

This site isn't a resume in paragraph form or a single tidy narrative. It's a collection of projects, essays, photographs, and experiments that reflect what I'm learning and what I choose to spend time on. Some of them connect cleanly. Others don't, and that's intentional.

What ties them together is a way of working: thinking clearly under pressure, staying close to the details, and improving through repetition rather than performance. I'm still figuring out where that work will lead, but I want to keep moving toward problems that are worth solving and work that can hold up in the real world.
