What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can apply my skills in data science and AI to make a meaningful impact.

I am a graduate of the University of Glasgow with a Master’s in Psychological Studies, where I focused on the intersection of data science and cognitive psychology. My research on AI algorithms in face recognition earned me high distinction, showcasing my ability to apply machine learning techniques to real-world problems.

With a solid foundation in Python programming and data manipulation, I have developed various projects, including a machine learning-based object recognition model and predictive analytics for real-world datasets. I am fluent in English and Arabic, with a keen interest in utilizing AI to drive innovation in cognitive science and computer vision.
