What I'm looking for

I’m interested in opportunities that combine research, cultural exchange, community engagement, language, and international cooperation.

At Zakey Tech, I developed practical experience in AI engineering and built a full-stack RAG application for accurate, context-aware responses. I also worked with stakeholders to adapt software to technical requirements.

At Al-Hussein Technical University’s Digital Learning Center, I built an EduTech AI platform that provides hints, explanations, and guided reasoning rather than final answers. I applied LLMs, retrieval, embeddings, and prompt engineering to support critical thinking and independent problem-solving.

I co-authored and presented research on AutoBib, an AI-assisted system for automated citation and BibTeX generation. Evaluated on more than 90 academic and technical URLs, it reduced citation processing from approximately one minute per citation to under one second per URL; I’m also interested in opportunities combining research, cultural exchange, community engagement, language, and international cooperation.
