I believe technology and learning should be accessible to everyone, everywhere. Despite the challenges,
I’m proud to lead the first community in Sudan dedicated to Microsoft Fabric and Power BI. As part of the Microsoft Super User program, I stay inspired by helping others grow their skills and confidence.
