AI Product Builder · Agents, RAG & Arabic AI

I design and build intelligent products — where software, AI and considered design meet. From a local Arabic academic assistant to explainable security analytics, I turn real problems into working systems.

Selected work

A studio of one.Three projects you can verify in code.

Each began as a real problem — in a university, on a security desk, at a stadium gate — and became a working prototype with a public repository.

How I build

A way of working, not a job title.

  1. Context over hype

    I start with the environment, not the model. The best system is the one that actually fits the place it serves.

  2. Privacy by design

    Trust is a feature. I default to local-first thinking and data practices that respect the people behind the data.

  3. Working systems first

    An idea means little until it runs. I build something real, show its limits honestly, then make it sharper.

  4. Details are the product

    Craft compounds. The small decisions — wording, timing, spacing — are the ones people actually feel.

Range

One way of thinking, across very different problems.

From a classroom to a city’s heat map to a stadium gate — the domain changes, the care doesn’t. Select a domain to see the project behind it.

ChatUB — an Arabic academic assistant built around one university’s own FAQ content, not generic answers.

What I believe

Anyone can add intelligence to a product. The part I care about is making it feel calm, trustworthy, and obvious so the person on the other side never has to think about the machine at all.
