Who I Am

My story and background.

My Story

My journey began at a young age, when I first tried bending a computer to my imagination. That same curiosity still pulls me forward today, alongside the same passion for learning and solving problems. Programming has stayed my favorite canvas for creativity, just at a much larger scale now. These days I work at the intersection of low-level engineering, AI architecture, and technical leadership. Based between the Netherlands and Spain, I collaborate with teams across EMEA and North America. Dutch by nationality, Lebanese by roots, and a digital nomad wherever the next challenge takes me. Currently living between Amsterdam and Alicante.
