Welcome to my headquarters. Iโ€™m from Tunis, Tunisia. If you know Tataouin from Star Wars, it is a real place in my country. I studied Data Science at the University of Rochester.
I am a software engineer at Rockefeller building AI & ML solutions. Simultaneously, I run educational programs at BAF, a nonprofit focused on emerging technologies. Previously, I built products and improved user experience at Amalthea FS and Mos. Perpetually, I am fascinated by the possibilities of technology for good, bad, and trivial.
