Musa Al-Masri

“I believe that technology has the power to bridge cultural gaps and bring people together in ways that were once unimaginable.”

Musa grew up in a vibrant Libyan community in the heart of Belfast. As a child, he developed a fascination for technology and programming, spending countless hours tinkering with his family's computer. This passion led him to pursue a degree in computer science, which he completed with distinction. After graduation, Musa landed a programming job and has been thriving in the tech industry ever since. In his free time, he enjoys playing the oud, a traditional Libyan instrument, and watching his favorite football team, Al-Ahly.
