Why I Align with Fundamental
Through Taskified and JEX, I've built AI agents that digitize human behavior and automate complex workflows. I'm drawn to products like Shortcut because they can revolutionize financial services — minimizing errors and improving financial literacy.
This mission resonates deeply with my personal goal of transforming Morocco's banking system to be more accessible and efficient through technology.

Between September 2024 and February 2025, I've worked with PhD student Maddison Erbabian on analyzing university spillover effects in Uganda.

Represented UC San Diego at nationals
I grew up in the Netherlands with Moroccan roots, learned to build while my friends were gaming in high school, and now study data science at Columbia. I care deeply about design, intelligent automation, and financial access. My future dream is to provide financial access to millions of Moroccans who don't trust the current banking system. To achieve this, I believe working at Fundamental will be the right place to develop myself further.
