About
I'm a Data Scientist and Product Analyst from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. I graduated with First Honors in Data Science from the University of Jeddah, with a minor in Financial Technology and Banking.
My work tends to live at the edge of disciplines — I'm drawn to problems where data meets culture meets product. A lot of what I do involves making things that were built somewhere else actually make sense here: translating not just language, but intent, context, and expectation.
Outside of work, I care a lot about mentorship and access to opportunity — which is why I built Dulani, and why I'll keep building things like it.
Contact
I'm open to product, strategy, and consulting opportunities — as well as collaborations, mentorship, and the occasional interesting conversation. Don't hesitate to reach out.
