ABOUT ME/

(MY STORY)

From a curious child in Beirut to a senior software engineer - a journey of passion, learning, and innovation.

THE BEGINNING

My journey started in Beirut, Lebanon, where curiosity and innovation became the foundation of my career.

Born in Beirut (2000)

I was born in Beirut, Lebanon, a city rich in culture and history. Growing up in this vibrant environment shaped my perspective and instilled in me a deep appreciation for diversity and innovation.

First Electronics (2009)

At age 9, I discovered my fascination with electronics. I experimented with LEDs, motors, and even created small fans from ice cream sticks. This hands-on exploration sparked my curiosity about how things work.

Curious Mind

From an early age, I was driven by curiosity and the desire to understand how things work, from simple electronics to complex systems.

THE AWAKENING

The moment I got my first PC, everything changed. I started questioning how computers work and how they are programmed - a turning point that defined my future.

My First PC (2010)

My uncle gifted me my first computer, opening a door to a world of endless possibilities. This wasn't just a machine - it was my gateway to understanding technology.

The Enlightenment

I started questioning everything related to computers. How do they work? How are they programmed? This curiosity became the driving force behind my entire career.

My First Program

I wrote my first computer program in batch script (CMD commands) in 2011. It was simple, but it was the beginning of my journey into the world of programming.

The Turning Point

This wasn't just about learning to use a computer - it was about understanding the fundamental principles that make technology work. Every program I wrote, every problem I solved, built the foundation for my career in software engineering.

THE LEARNING YEARS

A period of rapid growth, experimentation, and the foundation of my technical expertise (2013-2018)

Arduino & Hardware

Bought my first Arduino and created a traffic light system, then built a small RC car. This hands-on experience with embedded systems laid the groundwork for my later expertise.

Web Development

Started learning web development technologies including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, Bootstrap, PHP, and MySQL. This became the foundation of my full-stack expertise.

First Professional Role

I was hired as a web developer for a startup to work on their CRM system. This was my first taste of professional software development and real-world problem solving.

THE COMPETITION YEARS

A period of intense learning, teaching, and competing that shaped my technical and leadership skills (2018-2019)

Professional Growth

Embedded Systems

I was hired to work in embedded systems, programming microcontrollers including Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and even industrial work including Delta PLC using ladder logic.

Teaching & Mentoring

I was given the opportunity to be an instructor at Haret Hriek municipality, teaching a class of 70 students C++. I also delivered structured and hands-on courses in C, C++, and Arduino for students with varying levels of programming experience.

Competitions & Achievements

Robot Competitions

Won 3rd place in 2018 and 2nd place in 2019 in the sumo robot coding category, hosted by Kalimat. These competitions tested my programming skills and problem-solving abilities.

Science Fairs

Won 1st place in the Lebanese National Science Fair (Mobarat Al Ouloum) and 3rd place in the USJ Science Fair for the creation of the E-Health Gadget, showcasing my innovation in healthcare technology.

Mathematics Competition

Won 4th place in the national mathematics competition (MEC 2.0), demonstrating my analytical thinking and problem-solving skills beyond just programming.

ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE

My academic journey was marked by excellence in both learning and teaching, culminating in a computer science degree and recognition as an ACPC finalist (2019-2022)

Lebanese University

Enrolled in the Lebanese University Faculty of Science, majoring in computer science. This formal education provided me with a solid theoretical foundation to complement my practical experience.

ACPC Finalist

Became an ACPC (Arab Collegiate Programming Contest) finalist in 2021, competing against the best programmers in the Arab world and showcasing my algorithmic problem-solving skills.

Professor's Assistant

I was positioned as a professor's assistant for the two most important courses in the CS major: C and Data Structures. I was responsible for creating labs, practice questions, quizzes, and the final exam, developing my teaching and curriculum design skills.

Graduation

Completed my computer science degree at Lebanese University in 2022, marking the end of my formal education and the beginning of my professional career as a software engineer.

Academic Excellence

Beyond just earning a degree, I actively contributed to the academic community by teaching and mentoring fellow students, creating a positive impact that extended far beyond my own learning.

TODAY & BEYOND

I'm a passionate senior software engineer who loves creating digital experiences that make a difference. With a focus on clean code, beautiful design, and user-centered solutions that scale.

Full-Stack Development

Expert in modern web technologies including TypeScript, SvelteKit, and .NET, with a focus on building scalable and maintainable applications.

Embedded Systems

Experienced in programming microcontrollers, working with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and industrial PLC systems using ladder logic.

Cybersecurity

Performed penetration testing and security assessments for multiple organizations including Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MEHE), publishers like Dar Al Ahlieh and Dar Baraket, and others.

Teaching & Mentoring

Passionate about sharing knowledge and mentoring others, with experience teaching C++, C, Arduino and many others to students of all levels.

Ready to Work Together?

With experience across multiple industries and a passion for teaching, I bring both technical expertise and collaborative skills to every project.
