About me
Hello! My name is Aref Malkawi (also know as Aref M. Al-Ali) — my full name is Aref Mohammad Aref Al-Ali, though I often go by “Malkawi99” on Wikimedia projects. I was born on September 1, 1999, in Amman, Jordan. I have been an active contributor to Arabic Wikipedia, English Wikipedia, and Wikimedia Commons since 2018. I have authored and translated many articles across topics such as literature, history, cinema, politics, music, philosophy, sports, and geography. I am deeply passionate about knowledge sharing, language, and cultural heritage. Academically, I hold a Master of Arts in Linguistics, and a Bachelor of Arts in English Language and its Literature. Professionally, I work at Amazon.com as a Machine Learning Data Associate. Throughout my journey, I have also participated in Wikimedia and community initiatives. Beyond editing and research, I enjoy translation, writing, painting, and engaging with diverse cultures. Wikimedia projects have been, and continue to be, a place where my love for languages and knowledge meets my desire to contribute to open access information for all.
My work
Currently, I am immersed in the realm of machine learning and data at Amazon.com. Our Amman-based branch achieved a milestone by enabling Arabic language support for Alexa devices. Throughout my tenure, I have transitioned across various workflows within the company. Nowadays, I work for both the Arabic and English locales within the company.
