Mechatronics & AI/ML Engineer · Researcher · Technical Trainer

I build robotics and machine-learning systems, publish research, and train the next generation of Syrian engineers and researchers — from Aleppo.

Mechatronics engineering student at the University of Aleppo (fourth year, top of class at 89%). Open-source contributor with 3 pull requests merged into OpenCV and OpenDR — two of them into OpenCV core.

Teaching since 2022 across Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, and internationally through Paper Airplanes and HerWill — 500+ learners across all programs, 2022–2026.

This site is my platform-independent professional record — built after losing access to LinkedIn, and designed to outlast any single platform.

The mission

#

I work at the intersection of things that are usually kept apart: mechatronics, data science, MLOps, research, STEM training, and open source.

Syria’s engineering talent is not the bottleneck — access is. Access to a research culture, to global open-source communities, to the tools and the credentials that turn ability into opportunity. Everything I build is aimed at that gap, and at making the path I had to improvise into one that others can simply follow.

Reach: Syria → the Arab world → globally.

Experience at a glance: 4 years teaching · 500+ learners across all programs, 2022–2026 · 3 merged PRs into OpenCV and OpenDR · 2 companies founded

What I do

#

I founded and lead two Syrian ventures — Neurobotics (engineering and technical education) and Boundless (academic services, partnered with SANAD and UNFPA Syria). Together they run technical diplomas, a scientific research camp, olympiad training, and scholarship mentorship.
