A little about me 💫

Countries I've lived in so far: 🇦🇪  🇮🇳  🇺🇸
I have an obsession with new technologies and gadgets and you'd always find me having a conversation or a debate over new features or technical specifications. 📱
I love abstract and digital art and enjoy designing new product ideas and interfaces. 

🌎  I aspire to become a social entrepreneur and have an impact for the social good of people through technology.
