Hey, I'm Rabee 👋

I'm
a Student a Developer an Engineer an FAA-Certified Pilot!

I build things that connect logic with imagination — from code to circuits, ideas to reality. I've learned to see the world differently, sometimes from the ground, sometimes from the sky.

👥

I'm a Physics and Computer Science student and a Presidential Scholar at Gettysburg College, pursuing a dual-degree in Mechanical Engineering.

I grew up in Gaza, where curiosity and resilience shaped how I learn and build. My journey has been about turning challenges into projects that make life simpler, whether through code, engineering, or education.

I enjoy traveling, photography, flying drones, and exploring how technology connects people across the world.

What drives me is the intersection between engineering, creativity, and human connection — the desire to build things that matter and help others grow.
