About
I'm a final-year Computer Science student at the American University of Ras Al Khaimah, carrying a 3.8 CGPA with four Dean's List honors and President's List recognition in Spring 2026. Machine learning is where my strongest interest sits, and it shapes my research.
As a research assistant at AURAK's Advanced Technology and Artificial Intelligence Center, I work under Prof. Khouloud Salameh on unsupervised clustering and similarity-based retrieval for panoramic dental X-ray images, plus a second project predicting student academic performance. That sits on top of coursework in artificial intelligence, data science, statistics, and natural language processing.
My industry experience spans cybersecurity operations at Alpha Data, where I worked across NOC/SOC environments with tools like LogRhythm SIEM and Microsoft Defender, and mobile network planning at e& (Etisalat), where I analyzed 5G deployment strategies across urban, suburban, and rural environments.
I'm fluent in Python, Java, and C++, with hands-on experience in database design, Linux system administration, and hardware-level FPGA programming. I approach every project the same way: understand the problem deeply, design a clean solution, and document it thoroughly.
