I was introduced to computer science here, and it quickly became clear that this was the path I wanted to pursue.
After receiving a scholarship from MARA, I continued my studies at INTEC, preparing academically and personally for my journey to the United States.
Studying in the US has pushed me to become independent, adapt quickly, and take full responsibility for my growth.
I chose computer science because it gives me the freedom to build things creatively. With my love for mathematics, I found coding to have the same logical beauty, but with the added excitement of turning ideas into something real and useful.
I enjoy understanding how systems break and how to protect them. Cybersecurity challenges me to think critically, analyze risks, and design solutions that keep users safe.
I’m fascinated by how machines can learn, adapt, and solve problems. AI lets me combine logic and creativity to build intelligent systems that can actually help people.
