About

Focused on useful software

I'm a Computer Science student at the Lebanese American University, pursuing a Bachelor's degree through the Honors Program and expecting to graduate in May 2027. I focus on building practical software that turns messy workflows into clear, reliable products.

My strongest work sits at the intersection of full-stack engineering, product thinking, and applied AI: TicketFlow for IT support operations, HiveLore for collaborative worldbuilding, and Study Rescue AI for adaptive academic planning.

I have internship experience building production-style web applications, designing REST APIs, modeling relational databases, integrating authentication, and tutoring students in Python object-oriented programming.
