Hey,
Ferhid here
Welcome to my Portoflio. This is a space whe I want to share more about me. I love to ask many questions about everything and I am intersted in various subjects, such as physics, robotics, philosophy and business. In my free time, I enjoy reading, watching animes and building tech gadgets. Ooh I play minecraft too.
Where I come from,
where I'm going
I'm from Burkina Faso — a country that taught me nothing falls from the sky, that hard work matters, and that curiosity is the best compass. I build, I create, I fail sometimes, and I always start again.
I put my hands
in everything
Engineering, design, code, entrepreneurship — I don't like boxes. What drives me is that moment when a blurry idea becomes something real and tangible.
The moments that
changed everything
Research visit to the world's largest particle physics laboratory — home to the Large Hadron Collider. Met scientists and engineers operating at the absolute frontier of human knowledge.
Selected in the NASA Langley Research Center Student Art Contest — where artistic expression meets space exploration. Art and science, together.
Elected as a Yale Young African Scholars Alumni Ambassador. Representing Burkina Faso and sub-Saharan Africa, mentoring future applicants, and advocating for STEM access across the continent.
Technical Leader & Programmer for Team Burkina Faso at the world's premier international robotics competition — Singapore 2023 (Hydrogen Horizons) and Athens 2024 (Feeding the Future). Competed against 180+ nations.
What truly drives me? Not diplomas or certificates (even though I have a few, haha). It's the idea of proving it's possible. That you don't need to be born in the right place to do great things.
I have outrageously big dreams, and I've learned to think that's pretty cool rather than apologise for it.
