About

As a Computer Science (Cybersecurity) student at Arizona State University, I'm driven by a passion for software engineering and a commitment to building scalable, user-centric applications. My hands-on experience spans responsive web applications, native iOS development with two apps published on the App Store, and backend systems design—work that has reinforced my belief that thoughtful engineering directly impacts user experience. I'm drawn to opportunities where I can tackle complex technical challenges while continuously expanding my skillset and deepening my expertise in emerging technologies. Fluent in English and Arabic.
