Data and AI Architect at Shamal Holding, bringing ERP agents to every employee and automating month-end accruals.

At Shamal Holding, I own data and AI architecture across the holding company and its subsidiaries. I designed and shipped an MCP server over Dynamics 365 F&O, giving agents role-based ERP access for every employee and automating month-end accruals across 12 entities and 7 accounts.

At Americana Restaurants, I led a team delivering AI, optimisation and data platforms for ten-plus brands. Our differential pricing engine increased revenue by $55M, while a staff-transport optimiser reduced annual transport cost by 30.6% and became an INFORMS Daniel H. Wagner Prize 2026 semi-finalist.

Earlier at Triton Middle East, I worked on routing, territory and credit-risk models that halved the order-fulfilment SLA and reduced unsecured credit exposure by 44%. I hold an MSc in Applied Statistics in Finance and work with investment, finance and portfolio teams.
