Hi there and thank you for visiting my little spot on the internet! This website serves as a little window into who I am, what I do and what I think about.

Below you will find information about my education, work experience, publications, skillset and a little about things I do outside of work.

Education

As of 2nd February 2026, I have two degrees.

Work

Professionally speaking, I have spent the last 8 years or so working closely on local and wide-area wireless communication systems - particularly Wi-Fi and 5G. While my job has always been in and around the Wi-Fi standard, I did complete a thesis in Virginia Tech focusing on the 3GPP 5G (and beyond) standard.

Outside of work, I live in the city of San Jose in California, United States of America along with my wonderful wife.

History

1996 to 2007: Al Ain

I was born in 1996 to two amazing dentists and raised in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in a (at the time) tiny city called Al Ain, which was basically an oasis in the emirate of Abu Dhabi. Just like most cities in the UAE, Al Ain looks nothing like it did back in 1996-2007, the time that I lived there.
