MichelAljed

Final-year IT Engineering student at Antioch Private Syrian University, specializing in Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity. I work at the intersection of machine learning, formal reasoning, and applied security research. Independently, I run @cyborg.div — an Arabic-language channel making advanced technical knowledge accessible across the Arab world.
