Mehdi Bahlaoui (مهدي بهلاوي) ( /ˈmeh.di/ mɛh.di; born April 13, 2003) is a Moroccan engineering student and emerging leader in the fields of robotics, embedded systems, and artificial intelligence.
He is pursuing a degree in electrical and electronics engineering at the National School of Arts and Crafts (ENSAM) in Rabat, and is Specializing in digital mechatronic systems.

During his PFA intership, he gained hands-on experience at Tame-Test, where he contributed to real-world testing and validation processes within the industry. Before that, he had an opportunity to work on documentation processes and learn about medium voltage industrial drives at OCP Group.

Mehdi is known for his deeply kinestetic learning style, favoring physical experimentation over passive instruction, often sitting at the back of classrooms to absorb and challenge ideas on his own way.

In 2023, He became President of RobotiCore, ENSAM Rabat’s flagship robotics club. During his term, he revitalized its technical culture by leading workshops, developing competitive robots, and mentoring younger engineers. Under his leadership, the club helped reestablish the African Robotics Competition (CAR), a key event in the regional innovation calendar.

Mehdi's personal philosophy leans toward first-principles thinking, radical ownership, and momentum-driven execution.


I feel like there is another version of me, that cares to make Mehdi the man he is.
He is the reason Mehdi is where he is, and I truly feel that this version of me
is the one deserving of all the credit. —Mehdi Bahlaoui

Early Life

Mehdi Bahlaoui was born on April 13, 2003, in Marrakesh, Morocco.
He grew up in a family that valued education and hard work, which instilled in him a strong sense of curiosity and a desire to learn from an early age.
His parents encouraged him to explore various interests, including technology and engineering, which would later shape his career path.

Growing up, and like all children of his age, Mehdi fell in love with a video game and played it nonstop. He knew every corner of it. Eventually, he turned that obsession into a YouTube channel, just to see where it could go.
It grew faster than expected: over 600 loyal followers, 20,000+ views.
But he never saw himself as a gaming YouTuber long-term, so he quit.
Through it, he learned how to edit, how to talk to an audience, how to build and hold attention. Skills that would later feed into his music, storytelling, and everything else that followed.

Education

It is of interest to the public to note that Mehdi has never had a rattrapage.
A clean record, if you ask him. Impeccable. Almost mythical.
Some say he cheats, some say he has access to some secret database. But one thing is sure, no second chances for him are needed. In the heat of summer, he won't be seen sweating over questions he already answered once.
And that's the story, anyway.
And like all good stories, it leaves just enough unsaid to keep it interesting.
It remains as myth.. and it doesn't seem like he wants to correct it.
Why would he?

Rap Career

Even before highschool, Mehdi was a music junkie.
He wanted to replicate the tracks he heard while playing Geometry Dash.
He started making simple beats with a program called LMMS, then leveled up to FL Studio.
In high school, he sampled friends' audios, rapped for fun, and dropped cringy verses about girls.. yikes.
But the turning point came when he met his producer friend Faris.
Faris shared the same raw passion for music, and for the first time, Mehdi felt like he had found someone equally talented.
Their connection wasn't soft, it was competitive.

Mehdi invited Faris into his world through countless diss tracks, challenging him, pushing him. But Faris never ended up responding.

In college, Mehdi used his tracks to playfully diss the ADE (Association des Étudiants), not out of hate, but for entertainement.
His lyrics appeared to cut through the surface and exposed the tension between students and the system.
Almost all of his songs came from an accidental beat, thrown together without intention but executed with instinct.
They came raw, fast, and honest. People listened because it felt real, and because they maybe had nothing to do at that time.

Philosophy Endeavour

Mehdi watches how people talk, how they act, and what doesn't match. He doesn't speak much about it, but he writes when something feels real, or strange enough to keep, or simply worth remembering.
And through his continuous game, one question perpetually stays in his mind, while he constantly defines separation between his self and others.
