Either by choice or by chance, you’ve reached my blog, or my so called website. Not just my blog, but the first post/page of my blog. Perhaps taking a look at my inaugural post will be cool if sometime in the future I can accumulate thousands of interesting and insightful posts, all of which rank atop Google’s search results and bring me enormous fame and glory. Though this is obviously (not) the ultimate goal, there is much to do between now and then. And the first step is to introduce myself.

Yes, and now… without further ado, my introduction :

My name is Ossama Benbouidda, pronounced Ben-bwi-da. I was born in Rabat, Morocco, and I lived the first two decades of my life with my parents in Casablanca (Morocco always !), I was curious about everything, and had what I would consider an awesome childhood.

I moved to France to finish my studies, and stayed to work after. So, for now, I’m currently a Consultant at Deloitte France. In the past few years I’ve become fascinated by all things digital : Robot Process Automation, Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence, etc.

The reason I tell you all this is to give you a sense of what topics I’ll talk about in this blog. It will be mostly be focused on topics relating to digital trends. But, I’ll also spend some time discussing things that I’ve learned through my experiences that I wish I knew before I ventured on a particular journey.

Hopefully when I look back at this post several years down the line, I will say “Wow, I can’t believe that was so poorly written compared to my posts since then,” rather than “Wait, I used to have a blog…and I even made a few posts?”
