Physics and CS at Gettysburg, based in the Bay Area. I take products from zero to thousands of users, run technical programs across time zones, and stay close enough to the engineering to keep everyone honest.

A student ride-sharing app, shipped end to end: real-time matching, Stripe Connect payouts, .edu verification, and role-based access. Scoped from ride-demand research across 3 campuses.
A self-hosted personal assistant on a Raspberry Pi using the Claude API, with persistent memory and secure remote access over a private network.
Autonomous quadcopter, dual-motor electric skateboard, solar charging station on a custom PCB, 4-layer IoT board, six-legged robot. Built from schematic to working hardware.
Roadmapping, user research, prioritization, and getting things shipped instead of perfect.
Stakeholder management, cross-functional coordination, documentation, and process automation.
Python, Flutter, Supabase and SQL, embedded and PCB basics. Enough to earn engineers' trust, not to get in their way.
Figma, Git and GitHub Actions, and whatever the team already lives in.

I grew up in Gaza, where figuring out how to fix things was less a hobby than a necessity.
That turned into a physics and CS degree, a few shipped products, and a habit of taking the part of the project nobody else wants. I am in the Bay Area now, looking for product and program work where being technical is a feature, not a footnote.
Open to product, program, and technical internships. The fastest way to reach me is email.
