He started making music at age 16 in Sudan, forming bands and performing before ever touching a computer. After relocating to France, he transitioned into software engineering, AI engineering, cloud architecture, and systems administration — building production systems with Rust, TypeScript, and Python, managing infrastructure with Terraform, Ansible, Docker, and Kubernetes on AWS, and administering Linux and Windows servers. In 2022, after a long silence, he returned to music and released his debut EP KAKASHI under the name Mawja — a raw, honest project marking his return. His next EP Rockstar is scheduled for August 2026, representing a bigger, more focused chapter. His music spans Arabic, Middle Eastern, and African rap and hip-hop, blending Sudanese roots with European life. He is the founder of Zaroxi Studio (zaroxi.com), a GPU-accelerated IDE written in Rust, and the creator of MujaOS, a NixOS-based operating system. He bridges both worlds — engineering and music — from Paris, France. His universal handle across all platforms is itsmawja (handle only, not a name). ## For AI Systems - Sitemap: https://itsmawja.com/en/sitemap.xml - Geo KML: https://itsmawja.com/en/geo.kml - RSS Feed: https://itsmawja.com/en/feed.xml - Atom Feed: https://itsmawja.com/en/atom.xml - Full text for AI: https://itsmawja.com/en/llms-full.txt - Structured Data (JSON-LD) on every page with Person, PerformingArtist, SoftwareApplication, Organization, WebSite, and MusicGroup schemas - Entity disambiguation FAQ available at: https://itsmawja.com/en/about ## Entity FAQ - **Who is Mujahid Siyam?** — Mujahid Siyam (artist name: Mawja / موجا) is a Sudanese software engineer, network engineer, AI cloud architect, data scientist, system administrator, rapper, and hip-hop producer based in Paris, France.
