Hi,I'mAbdoHassan

Based in Amsterdam, I work at the intersection of code, critique, and care. My work blends computer science, critical theory, and storytelling to build technologies that empower rather than extract, question rather than optimize.

HOW I THINK

Sharing ideas about ethical AI, creative technology, and decolonial practices at conferences and community events. I regularly speak on topics including responsible AI development, algorithmic justice, and the future of human-machine collaboration.
