I'm a UX Designer living in the bustling city of Dubai.
I graduated with Computer Science degree and decided to face uncertainty and rejection by pursuing UX design, while having a software development background from university.
After facing said rejection and difficulties, I am proud to have stood up for what I am passionate about, and I feel that the world is open for me to learn, explore and impact.
I look for a clean, tolerant work culture where people are sincere with each other as well as the work they do. I thrive with people who are excited about their work and the impact it has on people, and I infect others with this passion and excitement as well.
I love technology and have a thing for smart home devices in addition to other personal gadgets. I like adventurous long drives and I can't resist coffee when I have a choice!

Viafone Technologies - Mobile Developer Intern
I worked in this startup called Viafone Technologies where I used React Native for implementing part of their loyalty app. My time there taught me how to figure things out on your own when there's hardly a handful of people working with you.
