Beyond work

Originally from Tunisia, now based in Lusail, Qatar. Outside of engineering, I'm interested in urban planning (how cities design for delivery logistics), reading about behavioral economics, and long desert drives. I speak Arabic natively, plus English and French.

I believe technology should solve real problems for real people. The best engineering isn't about the latest framework — it's about reliability, simplicity, and building systems that your team can maintain at 3 AM without heroics.
