Work history & projects

Work

I started in AI in 2021, while still in engineering school. Spent four years stacking internships and freelance gigs alongside my degree (Esprit, early 2025), then went full-time. Today I lead AI at 1morething Ventures out of Sharjah, teach a few bootcamp cohorts on the side, and just picked up my first US client.
