What I'm looking for

I seek roles that combine software development and digital innovation with sustainability and youth empowerment, offering cross-sector collaboration, impact-driven projects, and leadership growth.

I am a distinguished software engineer with a strong commitment to driving sustainable development through technology and policy advocacy. I combine technical expertise with international youth leadership, having represented Iraqi youth at global forums and UN summits.

My work spans software engineering, digital marketing, and program leadership — delivering AI-based solutions, designing multilingual UN communications, and building technology frameworks for climate-focused entrepreneurship across MENA. I have led teams and managed outreach campaigns that increased product visibility and stakeholder engagement.

As Vice President of the United Nations Youth Advisory Council and an official COP29 youth delegate, I have successfully established partnerships between youth organizations, government bodies, and UN agencies to influence policy and implement innovation-driven initiatives. I have also served as a UNV Youth Advocate and FAO report designer on high-visibility projects.

I bring multilingual communication skills, international program experience, and a results-driven mindset to roles that intersect technology, sustainability, and youth empowerment. I seek opportunities where I can scale impact through tech-enabled solutions and cross-sector collaboration.
