Career

I started with the infrastructure, built the data and models, then took ownership of the platform and the rules that get AI into production.

  1. Jun 2025 – presentWork

    Data & AI Platforms Manager

    Emaar Group

    Today I lead the group practice across AI delivery, business intelligence, enterprise integration and digital products. I co-authored the 2026 AI strategy, covering more than 70 initiatives across 19 divisions, and I am building the development framework used to scale delivery across 140 digital products. I own the architecture beneath that portfolio - from the data lake and integration backbone to self-hosted GPU inference, executive analytics, and customer-facing web and mobile products. The production AI platform now serves 600 daily users and more than 120,000 queries each month, and I remain hands-on in the systems behind it.

    Founding Engineer, Infra Studio

    Personal project

    I started Infra Studio in March 2026 and launched it in July. It is a subscription product for civil engineers to design road and utility cross-sections and export them as PDF, PNG and DXF; I continue to run the full product, from the editor and CAD service to tenancy, billing, security, observability and deployment.

  3. Sep 2024 – expected 2027Education

    MSc, Machine Learning

    American University of Sharjah

    I began an MSc alongside work to study inference beyond model accuracy. My research measures how much memory, throughput and cost quantisation can save, what accuracy it gives up, and how those trade-offs differ across NVIDIA and AMD edge GPUs.

  4. Mar 2024 – Jun 2025Work

    Data Scientist & Machine Learning Engineer

    Emaar Group

    I joined as a data scientist and machine-learning engineer. I started with the pipelines behind executive reporting, then consolidated fragmented analytics and introduced open-weight model inference for use cases that needed more control over data and deployment.

  5. Jan – Mar 2024Work

    Technical Consulting Intern

    SAS

    At SAS, I used SAS Viya to work through the full analytics cycle: preparing raw data, exploring it, building analyses and presenting the result in reports. It showed me how each stage has to remain traceable when analytical work is delivered to enterprise customers.

  6. May – Aug 2023Work

    Information Technology Intern

    Mindware

    At Mindware, I was introduced to Azure and the design choices behind cloud computing: subscriptions for separating ownership and cost, redundancy for keeping services available, and scaling capacity with demand. I also gained exposure to enterprise security through Forcepoint.

  7. 2019 – 2023Education

    BSc, Computer Engineering

    American University of Sharjah

    I studied Computer Engineering and added a minor in Data Science as my interests moved toward machine learning. For my senior capstone, I led the team that won Best IoT and AI Project among 74 competing projects, and I graduated with Dean’s Honors.
