About Me

I'm an engineer obsessed with reliability. Whether it's a UAV flying an autonomous mission or a sensor node collecting data in the field, I enjoy the challenge of building systems that just work.

Currently pursuing Electrical & Computer Engineering at UT Austin. I thrive in roles where I can own the full build: requirements → wiring → firmware → testing.

Bilingual in English, Arabic, and French. When I'm not soldering or coding, I'm a competitive swimmer and rugby player.
