About

If you're here, that means you want to know more about me! 😉

 

Here's my story:

 

I grew up in Iraq and moved to the US in 2015. My family has always valued education and hard work. I worked as a Telecommunications Engineer for a few years before attending graduate school at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs, in 2019.

 

Graduate school has always been a dream of mine. I had the opportunity to work on various projects involving Computer Vision and Machine Learning, and I fell in love with these fields. Solving challenging problems and being part of groundbreaking work was amazing. After two years, I received a scholarship to pursue a PhD, and I couldn't say no! 

​

As a Graduate Research Assistant, I worked on various problems and collaborated with various universities and companies to deliver software products and solutions to government agencies, which made the work both exciting and challenging.

​

In my free time, I love reading, traveling, and spending quality time with family and friends. I enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, running, mountain biking, and snowboarding in winter.

I also like marathons.
