I am a software engineer and technologist based out of the greater Boston area. My interests are broad and span distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, developer tooling, automation, secruity and database systems. I was born and raised in Jordan, and I spent all of my childhood and teenage years in Amman. In my free time, I enjoy reading, exploring new technology, playing soccer, and visting the best breweries in New England.
