Malek is originally from Syria, After having to flee to the Netherlands, he founded a non-profit organisation (Samen Met Syriërs) in Nijmegen. Created to offer integration in every best and effective form into the Dutch society. Through organising regular cultural activities and various events to empower the dynamic process of integration. He also instructs/facilitates teaching sessions for refugees in coding and programming at HackYourFuture in Amsterdam.

Malek, also developed an employee centric website of the Global Diversity and Inclusion department at Shell, and currently working at Apple's Education department. He sees his impact as creating an inclusive society where diversity is embraced and everyone contributes to a sustainable and a better world.
