About me Services

About Me

I am Palestinian and was born and raised in California's Central Valley. Growing up between cultures and around a big family shaped a lot of how I see work, community, and the kinds of projects I want to spend time on.

I graduated from the University of California, Merced in 2023 with a Bachelor's in Computer Science and Engineering. I now work at Milano Technical Group in Merced, building robotic platforms, vision systems, and autonomy software for agricultural and industrial use. Outside of work, I also contribute to projects that matter to me personally, including Boycat.
