I build AI systems that reach production — agents, retrieval, and the apps around them — and stay to run them.
My full-time home is applied-AI research at Elm in Riyadh — perception, robotics, and machine learning, with four patents along the way.
Separately, I hold board and co-founder positions in technology ventures outside Saudi Arabia — companies running agentic and retrieval systems in production: a multi-tenant RAG assistant live at a measured $0.007 per chat turn, and a generative-image engine rebuilt onto Gemini with model fallback.
I take stalled products and help turn them into ones that scale — at board level, while the operating teams run the day to day.
A generative-AI studio for home and interior design. Acquired as a stalled product and grown past 160,000 registered users across web and mobile.
visualizeai.pro ↗A bilingual Arabic/English customer-support AI for businesses that serve both languages — co-founded and scaled into a live, multi-tenant product.
getjawab.ai ↗* Venture involvement is non-executive — board and shareholder roles in a company incorporated in Canada, independent of my research position.
Applied-AI research across perception, robotics, and machine learning. Named inventor on four patents.
Led an advanced driverless-vehicle control system designed to emulate a natural human driving style, plus perception via LiDAR, stereo cameras, and radar occupancy grids.
Image-processing and deep-learning solutions for KYC/AML screening, OCR, and handwriting recognition.
Delivered a patented AI-based indoor-climate device; worked across computer vision, robotics, and condition monitoring. Earlier KTP research associate on statistical ML and signal processing.
Research/teaching fellow (bioinformatics, evolutionary methods, PhD supervision); MSc teaching in AI and Intelligent Transport Systems; Arabic speech/text synthesis at KACST; C/C++ and computer-vision instruction at KFUPM.

I run, cycle, and swim long. I build FPV quadcopters and tinker with robotics hardware, learn Najdi Arabic, and read about land and self-sufficiency. I like far-out places, new cultures, and trying ideas before I'm sure they'll work. If you have a bright idea — or an unfinished one that needs a second opinion — get in touch.
