Building intelligence that holds up in the real world.
From a young age, I've been motivated to innovate and create impact through technology. My early exposure to entrepreneurship ignited my ambition, and since then, I have aimed to design products that enrich people's lives. I want to keep building products that are useful, durable, and meaningful.
With a strong foundation in computer science and a clear focus on AI, I've become most interested in the space where technical depth meets real product value. I'm drawn to work that requires ownership, curiosity, and a willingness to step outside a narrow job description. Whether I'm building AI systems, analytics tools, or user-facing products, I bring a mix of engineering rigor, strategic thinking, and a genuine interest in creating technology that people find useful.
What sets my perspective apart is that I do not think about technology in isolation. I think about how it behaves when conditions are imperfect, users are real, and the stakes actually matter. That mindset pushes me to build systems that are not only intelligent, but dependable, usable, and grounded in reality.
The Deeper Story
I grew up in Tunis. Not in a place with much of a tech scene - there was no startup culture, no CS pipeline, no one around me building software. But there was a feeling I could not shake: that the things I used every day, apps, tools, systems, could be so much better. And that maybe I could be the one to make them better.
When I was in high school, I built an app that let people exchange CDs and PS4 games, a way to try out other games without buying them. It was not good. The UI was rough, the code was messy, and almost no one used it. But someone did. And the moment a stranger opened something I made and actually tried to use it, that was it. I knew what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.
I left Tunisia at 18. Moved to the US alone, learned to navigate a country where I did not know anyone, in a language that was not my first, on a visa that reminded me every semester that none of this was guaranteed. That kind of pressure does not break you, it recalibrates you. You stop wasting time on things that do not matter. You learn to build fast, adapt faster, and never assume the ground beneath you is stable.
Since then, I have built AI systems that actually get used, a RAG decision-support platform that indexes hundreds of documents with hallucination guardrails, a natural language analytics engine that turns plain English into SQL across complex databases, workflow orchestrators that classify and route real operational data. Every one of them started the same way: someone had a problem, and I would not stop until the system solved it under real conditions, not just clean ones.
The problems I want to solve are larger than anything I've built so far. I know that. But every system I've shipped has taught me something the last one couldn't, how to think under pressure, how to build for people I'll never meet, how to make something hold up long after I've stopped watching it. There is more to build. And I intend to.
