About

Building with purpose.

I'm a Software Engineering graduate from the University of Bahrain with a completed professional certification in Software & Cloud from Skills Union (Jul 2026). My work spans full-stack web development, AI/ML systems, data analytics, and mobile applications.

From training neural networks for hand gesture recognition to building real-time social media platforms, I combine engineering fundamentals with modern tools to deliver complete, production-ready solutions.
