Writer with an Engineer's Mind

Something you don't see every day is a mechatronics engineering graduate who walked away from circuits and systems to become a writer. And no, it's not because engineering was hard; I literally built robots. But storytelling has always been what I love most. I've been building worlds and characters since I was 15, and now I use those same storytelling instincts to hook audiences across different genres and niches. And yet, that engineering background never really left me. I still think in structures and systems, and I still want everything I create to have a purpose. Over the past 6 years, I’ve helped clients in various industries craft story-driven content that resonates with their audience, including YouTube scripts, social media content, SEO articles, blog posts, and fiction ghostwriting, always tailored to their voice and goals. I've also written three novels and short stories that have reached over 500K reads online. And I hold a Creative Writing certificate from Wesleyan University and certifications in Digital Marketing from Google and Udacity. Plus, I'm a native Arabic speaker fluent in English, so if you need content translated or created in both languages professionally and accurately, I'm your person. If that sounds like what you're looking for, send me a message and let's discuss your next project.
