Talal is a computational designer and software developer whose career has traced a path from architecture studios to engineering simulation labs to software teams — united by a single thread: using computational geometry to make design decisions smarter and more rigorous.

Talal pursued his bachelor's degree in architecture at the University of Toronto (2015–2019), where he was introduced to computational design and representation. He then moved to London to join PLP Architecture, where he was promoted from intern to architectural technologist while working on international projects, including the entrance atrium of a 50-story multi-use building in Tokyo, Japan.

In the summer of 2020, Talal responded to the humanitarian crisis in Beirut following the August 4th harbor explosion, helping restore the facades of 25 houses and allowing displaced families to return to their homes.

Driven to deepen his technical foundations, Talal moved to the Netherlands to pursue his Master of Science at Delft University of Technology (2021–2023), focusing on design informatics and sustainability. He served as chair of company relations and finance of the BouT student association, collaborated with Octatube Engineering, and competed in intramural basketball. During his final year, he moved to Munich to partner with BMW Group on his master's thesis, “Multidisciplinary Design Optimization for Additive Manufacturing Repair,” combining computational geometry and finite element analysis to optimize structural performance. He graduated Cum Laude.

Since returning to Toronto in 2024, Talal has worked as a Computational Design Developer at Adaptis Technologies, where he built automated ML data generation pipelines leveraging computational geometry methods, developed simulation-driven analysis tools combining geometry generation with ray-tracing, and delivered customer-facing software with full test coverage and CI/CD ownership. This experience solidified his focus on geometry-driven software — bridging parametric design, engineering simulation, and software development to build robust, impactful products.
