YAHIA.
My journey

Not a straight line.
A connected one.

Every stage of my career has added something to the next—from understanding people and business, to working with data, building technology, and leading in manufacturing.

The beginning

Learning business through people

After earning my degree in Business Administration, I began working in sales and marketing. Those roles taught me how to listen, communicate clearly, understand what people need, and connect everyday work to measurable results.

A new strength

Discovering data analysis

Through reporting, planning, and performance work, I was introduced to data analysis. I found that I was naturally drawn to the questions behind the numbers—what changed, why it changed, and what decision should come next.

Analysis became more than part of my job. It became the kind of work where I felt most capable and curious.

Self-directed learning

Building skills beyond the job

I continued improving my English as a second language while teaching myself more about technology. I learned programming, databases, and how to install and manage Linux servers so I could run and host my own applications.

That process showed me that I could learn difficult technical skills independently—and enjoy the challenge.

Starting again

Rebuilding in America

Moving to the United States meant starting a new chapter. I worked hard across different jobs, adapted quickly, and did what was necessary to build a foundation. At the same time, I kept looking for a stable opportunity that would allow me to grow and return to technology in a more academic way.

The next chapter

Manufacturing created the bridge

Advanced manufacturing gave me the stability I was looking for, along with new lessons in precision, discipline, teamwork, and leadership. It also gave me the opportunity to return to school and study Data Science and Programming Support Services at Wake Tech.

Today, I am bringing those experiences together: business understanding, analytical thinking, self-taught technology, real-world operations, and a commitment to keep learning.

My story is not about changing direction. It is about connecting every direction I have taken.
