AI/ML Engineer & AI4S Researcher

I'm an AI/ML engineer building agents. Currently working on my own startup, coming out of The Bridge, EF's residency program in San Francisco.

Before that, I researched discrete diffusion models and agents for biomedical research (paper) at MBZUAI in Abu Dhabi and was part of the ML4S reading group. At CrayonLabs, a Dubai-based startup, I built talent acquisition agents and models that help early-stage VCs evaluate founders.

Along the way: won $20k across hackathons (including office hours with a YC general partner), competed at the World Robot Olympiad 2022 Finals, ran a creative agency, and organized large-scale events as a board member of Beyond Curriculum PF.
