About   Me

I am currently working as a DevOps and Infrastructure Engineer at Gulf Business Machines. Last year, I graduated from the University of Leeds with a BSc in Computer Science and Mathematics.

My journey in tech isn't limited to just one path. I'm passionate about cloud computing, software development, cybersecurity, and everything in between. I'm fascinated by how each of these fields intersect with one another to facilitate large impactful projects.

Off my PC? I'm all about balance. You'll find me chasing that next PR at the gym, cheering on Ferrari as it DNF's yet another F1 Grand Prix, or trying to stop my goofy cat from rampaging around the house.
