Originally from Nazareth, Fakhri began his career studying medicine abroad but realized it wasn’t the right fit. After returning to Israel, he joined itworks through the Tel Aviv Pattern Design program and retrained in Full Stack development. He completed two tech courses and secured a job at Amdocs just 15 minutes from home.
“The personal support and the belief that [itworks staff] had in me mattered even more than the technical training — the fact that they told me with certainty that I would find a job helped me rebuild my self-confidence.”
