Mechanical EngineerAI & RoboticsSoftware Engineer

I started out designing water-treatment plants and stress-testing aircraft components, then spent a master's degree teaching robots to see and language models to speak Arabic. Today I build search and AI systems at Amazon. Every step has been the same instinct: take something complex, understand how it actually works, and make it work better.
