Keeping things running
At Sabal, I ran cloud infrastructure for more than 10 clients. It taught me to design for the people who depend on a system after launch.

Closer to the people using it
At Crocodile Studio, I moved from running infrastructure to building software for clients. I built APIs that handled more than 100,000 requests a day.

Learning to ask better questions
At Concordia, I studied how machines learn when examples come without labels. Research taught me to test what I thought I knew.

From idea to first customers
As a co-founder and CTO, I set the product direction and built the engineering team. We launched two AI products and secured our first customer pilots.
How I can help02WORKING WITH ME
How I can help you build
Pick what to build first
I help you turn a broad idea into a first release, then test it with customers before you commit to a bigger build.
Put AI to work
I build AI features that answer from your documents, cite their sources, and work in Arabic and English. I test them on examples from your team.
Lead the engineering
I can design the system, write code, and lead the team. I plan for access control, monitoring, and the work that comes after launch.
