PROFESSIONAL OVERVIEW
<aside>
As an architect, I'm passionate about the entire design process, from shaping initial concepts and programming to guiding projects through design development. I use computational design as an integrated method to bring these ideas to life with clarity and efficiency. My expertise in Rhino, Grasshopper, and Rhino.Inside.Revit allows me to tackle complex geometries, rationalize forms, and build efficient BIM models, bridging the gap between a design's vision and its buildability.
In every project, I'm a collaborative problem-solver who enjoys working with teams to find clear, innovative solutions to challenging tasks.
Beyond my professional work, I'm a strong advocate for open-access education. I founded and run a free, Arabic-language Grasshopper 3D course that has grown into a permanent resource supporting a community of students and professionals.
Guided by my faith as a Muslim, my work is driven by a deep sense of purpose and a desire to make a positive impact. I'm always interested in connecting with others who share a passion for design, technology, and mentorship.
