Hello, I'm
I build backends and data systems for problems that are messier than a tutorial assumes — multi-tenant platforms, database extensions, AI pipelines with real sensor data.

I am a software engineer interested in building reliable systems and data-driven platforms.
I am currently pursuing a Master in Civil Engineering in Computer Science at Université Libre de Bruxelles, after completing a BE in Computer Engineering at the Lebanese American University. My work focuses on backend development, data modeling, and systems that transform complex information into structured, usable software.
Through internships and personal projects, I have worked across testing, backend APIs, database systems, and analytical platforms. I enjoy designing architectures that combine clean abstractions, efficient data handling, and practical usability.
Specialization in Civil Engineering in Computer Science.
Dean's Honor List.
Full-stack multi-tenant platform for battery life-cycle inventory modeling. Manufacturers model process inventories manually or via Excel import; admins map flows to the ecoinvent background database and export structured VUB-format workbooks to Supabase Storage. Includes a Monte Carlo simulation engine with parameterized uncertainty distributions and Spearman correlation sensitivity analysis.
An educational platform leveraging Generative AI to create personalized course content and quizzes for students. The system was deployed and tested in a real-world classroom, where environmental and interaction data were collected through multiple sensors connected to a Raspberry Pi and transmitted via a REST API for processing and analysis, enabling context-aware learning experiences.
A PostgreSQL extension in C that adds native DNA sequence types with bit-packed storage (2 bits per nucleotide) and k-mer substring indexing via a SP-GiST trie. Enables typed DNA columns, sequence alignment queries, and index-accelerated k-mer lookups directly in SQL.
Interactive analytics dashboard for exploring and interpreting urban mobility patterns through geospatial data. Features dynamic map-based visualizations, including heatmaps, route distributions, and temporal trend analysis, to support data-driven insights and spatial decision-making.
Simulation of a peer-to-peer energy market for smart grids, where prosumers trade surplus solar energy via smart contracts on Ethereum. Implements a clearing algorithm that matches bids and asks at a local market price, reducing grid export costs compared to a centralized utility model.
When I'm not building systems, I'm out exploring Lebanon on foot.
