About

I was born in Massachusetts and raised in Beirut. For as long as I can remember, I've tried to get the most out of a day, always adjusting my routine and the space around me so that everything runs a little smoother. By the time I was 18, I realized industrial engineering was just the academic version of how I already lived, so I came to the US to study it at Penn State, where I graduated in 2026.

Being in your early twenties comes with a quiet pressure to already know what the rest of your life looks like. I honestly don't, and I've stopped treating that like something I need to solve on a deadline. For now, my move is to follow my intuitive curiosity. When there's an idea I can't stop thinking about, I go read about it, build it, or find someone who's deep in it and learn from them.

I learn by doing. I'd rather get my hands on something and work it out myself, mistakes and all. That's how I've picked up most of what I actually know, and I'll always get more out of a messy attempt of my own than out of the cleanest explanation I could just read.
