After earning her bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from Caltech, Amal worked as a Hardware Engineer at Meta (formerly Facebook) where she led teams to deliver products for Meta’s datacenters around the world.

She has consistently volunteered with education non-profits, be it as a robotics coach or through consulting services.
