01 — SELECTED WORK

Thoughtful work.
Real constraints.

A few problems I’ve had the chance to work on, from Arabic speech technology to large-scale urban mobility data.

WASHINGTON BIKE RIDES02

Reading a city
through its rides.

What do time, location, weather, and bike type tell us about daily bike-share revenue?

MY ROLEData Analyst

I explored around 6.5 million ride records joined with bike station and daily weather data. The work focused on describing the dataset and investigating how time, geography, nearby bus stations, and bike type related to daily revenue, using Python and geospatial analysis.

DEEPFAKE AUDIO DETECTION03

Building trust into
a voice call.

A mobile application concept for peer-to-peer calls with protection against deepfake audio.

MY ROLEBack-end Engineer

The system paired a deepfake detection model exposed through an API with a Django application for user data and history. I worked on authentication with Knox, a voice-based authentication flow, and API documentation with Swagger UI.

ALSO IN THE MIX

Built a production web product and Telegram bot for Fifty Nine Plus One, with PDF data extraction and custom input processing.

02 — A LITTLE CONTEXT

Curiosity with
a technical streak.

DAMASCUS UNIVERSITY
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ENGINEERING

I’m an Information Technology Engineering graduate from Damascus University, drawn to the space where data meets useful tools.

Competitive programming taught me to be precise about a problem. Data work taught me to ask better questions. Building software taught me to make the answer practical.

Outside project work, I spent nearly five years taking on growing leadership roles with the Red Blood Cells team and coached students in algorithms and problem-solving through ACM.
