BIOGRAPHY

I'm Rabah, a Data Science student at UC Berkeley and a full-stack software engineer. Before Berkeley, I completed a Full-Stack Web Development program at Bloom Institute of Technology, then founded and operated SMOOVE, an online moving platform with live Stripe payments, for over two years.

At Berkeley, I've combined rigorous coursework in data science with hands-on projects: geospatial transit equity research mentored by MTC, a resale intelligence capstone, and a departure-time optimization engine. I speak Berber, French, and Arabic, and I'm seeking roles in Data Science/Analytics and Software Engineering.
