About Me

Who I Am

From Hospitality to Code

My career began in luxury hospitality with prestigious brands like Qatar Airways, Eka Hotel, and House of Waine, where I mastered the art of precision, high standards, and creating exceptional human-centered experiences.

Now I'm channeling that same excellence into the digital space as a Full Stack Developer, Digital Marketer, and Creative Brand Storyteller. I'm currently learning through The Odin Project while applying my skills in brand design, marketing, and storytelling to create meaningful digital experiences.

My mission is to blend hospitality finesse with technology — building websites and digital experiences that feel both human and innovative, where every interaction is crafted with the same attention to detail I brought to luxury service.
