About Me

My Picture

Hi, I’m Tarek Alsolame


I’m a driven and introspective tech enthusiast with a passion for AI, cybersecurity, and storytelling. Born a refugee and shaped by experiences across Syria, Lebanon, Hong Kong, and the U.S., I’ve learned to turn adversity into ambition. I thrive at the intersection of logic and creativity—whether I'm building AI models that mimic human cognition, reviving classical Arabic poetry through machine learning, or climbing real and metaphorical walls in rock climbing and bouldering. With a strong foundation in coding, problem-solving, and emotional intelligence, I aim to create technology that is both impactful and human-centered. When I'm not diving into deep tech, you'll find me writing stories, playing guitar, or exploring philosophical ideas about the self, growth, and purpose.
