About Me

From Refugee to Tech Leader

I arrived in the UK from Iraq as a refugee in 2009. Since then, I've dedicated myself to mastering data engineering and giving back to communities that supported me.

With an MSc in Big Data and Business Intelligence (Distinction) and BSc in Computer Science from the University of Greenwich, I specialise in designing production-grade ML workflows and data engineering practices that improve reliability, observability, and deployment speed.

Beyond my technical work, I serve as a Trustee for Compass Collective, mentor students, and organise hackathons. In January 2024, I was honoured with the Greenwich Changing Lives Award for my contributions to the community.
