I build production AI systems: LLM and RAG pipelines, AI document reading, sandboxed code execution, and the full-stack products around them. My work runs inside enterprise ERP, government operations and a five-app admissions platform I led from first commit to launch.

About

I'm a Software Engineer and Applied AI Engineer, and I graduated from the Rochester Institute of Technology, Dubai, in 2026. I build LLM and RAG systems with LangChain, Hugging Face and vector databases (FAISS, pgvector), on Python/FastAPI and Node.js services with Next.js frontends.

I've shipped AI tooling inside enterprise ERP, a passport-verification system for government operations, and a sandboxed code-execution service that lets an enterprise AI assistant analyze large spreadsheets with real computed numbers. As co-founder and engineering lead of M64, I take client products from scoping all the way to production.

I care about the parts that make AI trustworthy in production: reading that gets verified, numbers that come from executed code, and every decision traceable to its source.

Experience

Jun 2026 – Sep 2026AI Product Development InternApparel Group
- Built a dedicated Excel & CSV service (TypeScript/Node.js) so the company's internal LLM assistant can compute on, edit and return spreadsheets up to 100 MB across six formats. Every number it reports comes from Python executed in an isolated sandbox, not from model estimation.
- Engineered a fully streamed pipeline with flat memory at any file size: a 96 MB workbook ingests in 554 ms, and the first page of a 416k-row sheet loads ~250× faster.
- Implemented dual Python execution sandboxes (a hardened Docker executor and Bedrock AgentCore), architected the AWS deployment, and authored the full specification set and a cost model for 500 daily users.
- Integrated Outlook and Teams into the internal GPT through the Microsoft Graph API, and led an LLM pipeline translating product catalogues from English to Arabic.

- Built a custom AI integration module for Odoo ERP that runs on local LLM providers, giving clients enterprise AI with no external API dependency. The module was delivered into a client's production ERP.
- Created an AI App Investigator that audits 3,000–5,000 records per app in ~5 minutes, work that previously took a team days, and produces reproducible audit reports.
- Added voice-to-text and AI voice calls, plus dashboards with scheduled AI runs and record-level drilldowns. Read the project.
