My Story

Alaeddine working with team

From Engineer to Product Strategist

My journey began in engineering, where I developed a deep appreciation for systems thinking and problem-solving. But I quickly realized that the most impactful solutions come from understanding people first—their needs, behaviors, and aspirations.

This curiosity led me to product management, where I combine technical expertise with design thinking to create products that truly resonate with users. I'm driven by the question "Why?"—always digging deeper to uncover root causes and meaningful opportunities.

Today, I specialize in helping organizations leverage emerging technologies like AI while maintaining a relentless focus on human-centered design. Whether it's shaping product strategy, coaching startups, or designing STEM programs, my goal is to create solutions that make a difference.
