About

I'm Syrian and grew up in Saudi Arabia before coming to the United States for college. Because my family lived there as temporary residents, many academic opportunities were limited, which pushed me toward self-teaching, free online resources, and practical systems work.

Background

That background is part of why I care about open-source work, maintainable tooling, and engineering that lowers the barrier for the next person using it.

  • Started with self-teaching and free online resources.
  • Care about open tools, accessibility, and maintainable systems.
  • Prefer practical engineering work that other people can reuse and extend.
