// 02 Profile
I’m Omar, an aerospace engineering student at UCLA, originally from Tunisia
and born in Reunion Island. I build rocket propulsion systems, but what actually pulls me in is the moment a design leaves the screen and becomes hardware that fires.
My path here wasn’t a straight line. I caught the space bug running experiments for a zero-g flight over Bordeaux, sharpened it winning national engineering competitions back home in Tunisia, and now I lead the feed system on UCLA’s hybrid rocket. Every step taught me the same lesson: rigorous analysis means nothing until you’ve tested it and watched it hold.
I do my best work with a hard problem and a team that isn’t afraid to be wrong on the way to being right. The first tank I built had a near catastrophic failure, threatening the entire project; fixing it taught me more than any lecture ever did.
