What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can build and deploy local-first LLM/RAG and diffusion systems, contribute to open-source tooling, and grow fast across ML engineering, evaluation, and real-world iteration.

I’m an AI Engineer with a B.Sc. in Artificial Intelligence from the University of Jordan. I build practical ML systems across diffusion models, RAG pipelines, NLP tooling, and audio ML—always focused on shipping working solutions, not just experiments.

Recently, I developed AI retail-support agents using local LLMs, improving response quality through behavioral testing and model tuning. I also built an end-to-end Arabic/English RAG chatbot for university documents—scraping, preprocessing, FAISS retrieval, and LangChain + Ollama inference—fully local-first.

I’m equally comfortable with adjacent product and deployment needs: I previously worked as a Frontend Developer Intern building Angular components with state management, routing, and REST API integrations. I’ve published open-source LLM tooling and I’m bilingual in English and Arabic, which helps me collaborate clearly with technical and non-technical teams.
