Profile
I am a tech entrepreneur with 25 years of experience in the technology sector, focused on building platforms that connect people, enable opportunity, and accelerate digital transformation. My work spans AI-powered platforms, digital services, economic development, and large-scale education and youth initiatives.
Over the years I have founded and co-founded several organizations that collectively support a more modern, connected, and opportunity-driven future for Iraq and the Kurdistan Region. My approach combines technical depth, strategic thinking, and strong partnerships with both public and private sector institutions.
