Builder, business owner and lifelong learner from Muscat, Oman.
I'm Ahmed Al Touqi, 25, from Muscat. I fell in love with technology the day I built my first PC: picking every part, wiring it together, and watching it boot for the first time. That curiosity about how things work has stayed with me ever since.
I own Studio 21, a barbershop I run alongside my career, and I built its finance dashboard myself. It taught me patience, responsibility, and how to lead people. Away from the screen, you'll usually find me with a book on mythology. I love the old stories of gods and heroes, and what they say about people.
Where I'm heading is simple: I want to become an AI engineer, building intelligent systems that make real work easier.
I spent my entire school life at ISC Muscat, from grade 1 all the way to graduation. It gave me a strong academic foundation, fluent English, and the scholarship that took me to the United States.
B.S. in Integrated Information Technology, College of Engineering and Computing. Moving across the world on my own taught me to be independent: managing my own time, money and decisions, and building a life in a new culture.
USC's top academic honor for a semester, awarded for a perfect 4.0 GPA.
Recognized for academic excellence in the College of Engineering and Computing.
A member of USC's Arab student community, a home away from home in Columbia.
Studied in the United States on a scholarship earned after graduating from ISC Muscat.
Where it all started. Building my first PC is when I fell in love with IT.
Mostly mythology. Timeless stories of gods, heroes and the choices that shape them.
Fast, social and competitive. My favourite way to switch off.
Teamwork, pace, and knowing your role on the field.
Discipline and consistency that carry straight into my work.
My plan is to build a long-term career path in AI engineering. Grab my CV or reach out directly.
