United Arab EmiratesWhat I'm looking for
I am a Certified Machine Learning Engineer and AI practitioner based in the United Arab Emirates, with hands-on experience building and deploying production AI systems on AWS. At Procurified I led AI-powered document processing pipelines and LLM feature integrations, achieving 98% accuracy and improving operational workflows.
Earlier in my career I led process engineering projects across LNG, petrochemicals and wastewater treatment—delivering FEED contributions, detailed engineering for membrane-type LNG carriers, and published research on ZLD systems. I combine a strong foundation in chemical/process engineering with advanced ML, cloud and data engineering skills to solve complex industrial problems and continuously adopt the latest AI technologies.
