Agentic workflows · RAG & document intelligence · govtech decision engines · voice AI · industrial automation — built end-to-end, deployed, and auditable.
I'm a Software Engineering student in Abu Dhabi who builds AI products the whole way through — data, models, agents, backend, frontend, deployment — not just notebooks.
- 🧠 Chief AI Officer @ Kanban Studios — leading the AI product arm: a productized AI-service catalog, RAG & document-intelligence workflows, the Kanban Agents autonomous-automation infrastructure, AI-safety frameworks, and Stripe-ready SaaS.
- 🔬 Visiting Researcher — Mixed Reality & Automation at BRIDGE (EDGE Group), working on an Industry 4.0/5.0 smart-warehouse platform: real-time HMIs, a Three.js digital twin, sensor-connected Raspberry Pis, and ML forecasting.
- 🚀 Founder & CTO of XPBridge — a mobile app I designed, built, and shipped solo to the Google Play Store.
- 📄 Undergraduate Researcher @ Al Ain University — published my first IEEE paper at IEEE REW 2026: explainable requirement-defect screening, tested across 79+ SRS documents and 9,000+ requirement statements.
- 🤖 My specialty is agentic AI that can be trusted: multi-agent pipelines with deterministic guardrails, compliance critics that can veto, fairness checks, and immutable audit logs — the boring parts done right.
- 🎓 BSc Software Engineering @ Al Ain University (expected 2027) — CGPA 3.73 / 4.00, named to the Honor List three consecutive semesters.
- 🏆 9× competition podiums & honors across UAE tech events — 4× 1st place (incl. G42's Tamkeen 5.0 Agentic AI track, the University Track at INSPIRE '26, and 1st of 48 teams at Oriane × Replit's Build for the Video Economy), 2× 2nd, 1× 3rd, plus finalist & championship recognition.
- 🌍 I work in English, Urdu, Hindi and Pashto (fluent), plus basic Arabic — and I ship bilingual EN/AR interfaces by default.

Compresses the UAE Ministry of Energy & Infrastructure's official 5-working-day housing-arrears review into a sub-10-second, fully auditable AI decision.
- Problem → manual officer review of rescheduling requests against a 6-rule governance rulebook.
- Solution → a LangGraph StateGraph of 11 agents: PDF salary-certificate parsing with LLM field extraction, deterministic governance rules (G-01→G-06), a Compliance Critic subgraph that can veto and force escalation, a fairness check against historical decisions, bilingual EN/AR rationale, WhatsApp notification, and immutable audit logging.
- Built to scale → service-agnostic engine, proven by a second federal service (visa renewal) running through the same pipeline — validated by 51 passing unit tests.
- ⚙️
Next.js 16TypeScriptLangGraphLangChainGroq · Llama 3.3 70BSupabase (Postgres + RLS)pdfjs-distTwilio - 💡 Why it matters: a working template for the UAE Federal Government's directive that AI handle 50% of services — with the audit trail regulators actually require.
A follow-up loop for UAE hospitals that patients never have to install: their care plan, a check-in every night, and answers on WhatsApp in their own language, with a nurse alerted the moment a warning sign appears.
- Flow → a nurse uploads the discharge letter; Gemini 2.5 Flash reads it into a care plan the nurse approves; the patient receives it on WhatsApp in one of five languages. Questions are answered strictly from their own discharge instructions.
- Safety → symptom reports and voice notes are triaged against the patient's own warning signs. Red means a critical alert and an urgent reply, and emergency keywords escalate instantly. If the model is down, a reported symptom is still acknowledged and escalated.
- Engineering → multi-tenant Supabase (Postgres 17 + Row Level Security), Vercel Cron +
pg_cronscheduling, and 11 check suites, including 139 Arabic phrasings for the intent classifier and an end-to-end webhook test against an in-memory Supabase. - ⚙️
Next.js 16React 19TypeScriptSupabaseTwilio WhatsAppGemini 2.5 FlashVercel - 💡 Why it matters: healthcare AI has to fail safe. Every path, including a model outage, ends with a human seeing the warning sign.
Driver-fatigue detection from a plain webcam or phone. A CNN trained from scratch and facial geometry are fused over time into PERCLOS, the automotive fatigue standard, so ordinary blinks never set off the alarm.
- Model → a 139k-parameter CNN trained on 85k infrared eye images with subject-wise splits (no data leakage): 98.66% accuracy and 0.997 ROC-AUC on 6 people it has never seen. The threshold is chosen for recall, and the weaker subgroup (glasses, 95.35%) is reported, not hidden.
- System → MediaPipe landmarks (eye and mouth openness, head pose) are fused with the CNN in a state machine covered by 70 simulated-time tests. Adaptive night and sun correction raises lighting robustness from 5/7 to 7/7 conditions.
- On device → a native Android port (Kotlin + ONNX) that requests only
CAMERAandVIBRATE, so "runs entirely on the phone" is enforced by the OS. It has its own 22-test JVM suite and a parity check against the Python version. - ⚙️
PyTorchOpenCVMediaPipeONNXKotlinAndroid - 💡 Why it matters: honest evaluation. A random split would have scored higher and then failed on a real face.
A money app for parents in the UAE, built with a teammate at a hackathon. Spending, goals, loans and kids' chores live on the phone, with Gemini-powered helpers on top.
- AI features → a streaming chat coach that answers from the family's own numbers; receipt scanning with Gemini vision; a "should I buy this?" check that runs a purchase verdict and a deal finder in parallel; and a next-month forecast grounded in Google Search, where the model proposes percentages and the server does the arithmetic.
- Engineering → a pnpm monorepo (Expo app + Express 5 API) built around one OpenAPI contract. Orval generates both the typed client and the server's Zod request validation. When the AI is unavailable, the coach falls back to rules and the forecast to three-month averages.
- ⚙️
React Native (Expo)expo-routerExpressGemini 2.5 FlashOpenAPI + OrvalTypeScript monorepo - 💡 Why it matters: the family's data stays on the device (AsyncStorage). Only a receipt photo or a text summary leaves it, and only when an AI feature is used.
Fully hands-free voice loop: speech-to-text → LLM reasoning → spoken reply, in real time.
- Pipeline → Groq Whisper for low-latency transcription, Gemini for conversational reasoning, browser SpeechSynthesis for natural playback.
- ⚙️
Next.jsFastAPIGroq WhisperGemini APIWeb Audio API— deployed onVercel+Hugging Face Spaces - 💡 Why it matters: voice is the hardest UX to fake — latency, turn-taking, and audio plumbing all have to work end-to-end.
Answers university-specific questions with grounded, cited responses pulled from real documents — not hallucinated ones.
- Retrieval → FastEmbed (
bge-small-en-v1.5) embeddings in Qdrant Cloud; the best-matching sections go to Llama 3.3 70B on Groq, and every answer returns the sources it used. - ⚙️
ReactViteFastAPIQdrantFastEmbedGroq · Llama 3.3 70B— frontend onVercel - 💡 Why it matters: citation-grounded RAG is the pattern every serious org needs before trusting an LLM with domain questions.
Founded, built, and shipped solo — from first architecture decision to store approval and ongoing maintenance.
- ⚙️
React NativeSupabasePostgreSQLAI integrationGoogle Play - 💡 Why it matters: shipping to a store — review process, crash-free sessions, real users — is a different sport from a demo repo.
