About Us

Who Am I?

Khaled

With my BS in Mechanical Engineering, I joined one of the largest construction companies in the Middle East. Within two years, I was leading a mega project overseeing all mechanical designs and procurement activities for a major client.

With the rise of a data-driven economy, I felt a need to take part. I began by familiarizing myself with tools used by analysts such as Python and SQL. I later pursued my MS in Business Analytics at the UC Davis GSM. Through this program, I've worked on multiple projects involving machine learning that required producing compelling presentations through data story-telling.

My upbringing in a region vastly outnumbered by expats along with my numerous travels helped me a lot in understanding different thought processes which I believe will have a lot to add to any team =)
