Hello, I'm glad you made it here!

Welcome to my personal website! My name is Elhadi Mustafa Elhadi. I developed this website as a fun way to express my professional and personal experiences all in one place. I will share content including travel, projects I've worked on, essays of life learnings, and more. I hope it will bring value to you in some way.

About

What I'm up to nowadays:

I am now living in Dallas, TX. A fun and diverse city that has a true city life experience. The sky scrappers, night life, and diversity are remarkable. The sports culture is pretty dope! We've got some of the biggest professional teams in the nation: the Cowboys, the Mavericks, and the Stars. The Dallas area also has some really good football (soccer) atmosphere, which is a sport I'm crazy about. It didn't take me long to get involved in leagues with solid ballers because there is plenty of them here. I have been here for little over 2 years now and I love it! One thing I'd note is that Dallas does not have a lot of nature and greenery, and it is also very flat. So the outdoorsy if scene is lacking. The people here are nice. The food is rich. The hospitality is warm.


Regarding my professional career, I am a software engineer working with backend technologies and the cloud. My current project is about building a streaming pipeline that pulls data from legacy systems and modernizes it to be deployed into ML/AI models to understand our customers better, using Python and Amazon Web Services. I am very passionate about technology. Mainly software. Not only am I fascinated by the large scale impact it has on our lives, but also the underlying "magic" that makes it happen.
