I'm passionate about

Enlighten people about making a change and pushing them to believe they can do it — not as a motivational speech, but as a lived truth. Helping others is my life goal. "It grows the more you give of it — and diminishes the moment you hold it back." — Imam Al-Ilibiri describing science

An idea worth spreading

What they don't tell you about building something from nothing. — "Don't say its masters are gone — whoever walked the path arrived." — Ibn al-Wardi

Areas of expertise

The TED story

At 3, I was already competing. At 9, I walked into a military sports school—and that place rewired me. Discipline, structure, and the weight of every wasted minute became part of who I am. But during vacations, instead of resting, I was searching for information to bring back to my classmates on the first day of school. Not because anyone told me to — because I couldn't help it. That clarity the sport gave my mind led me to championships. And those championships gave me time — time to think, to lead, to build. Then came STEM school, where everyone around me was running. Not competing against them — they pushed me to always feel like I could do more. I became student union president and joined science competitions, and somewhere in all of that, I realized my purpose wasn't to win—it was to make room for others to win too. When I entered engineering, I founded the STEMAIfy Team to help my colleagues understand their coursework—buying them time, the same way sport once bought me mine. That team became STEMAIfy Academy. A business. A mission. Still running.

Things you might not know

Writing classical Arabic poetry and practicing martial arts are the last things people expect from me as an AI engineer and a STEMer — but they forget I was a military sports school student. So besides strengthening my body, I kept my mind sharp by pouring my thoughts into classical Arabic verse.
