What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining Arabic linguistics and AI—working on high-quality annotation, evaluation, translation, and training data within collaborative teams that value technical rigor and language nuance.

I am an Arabic language specialist and mechanical engineer with hands-on experience in Arabic linguistic annotation, translation, dialectal analysis, and AI/LLM training data workflows. I have contributed as a Queue Manager on Arabic projects at Outlier - Remotasks, performed linguistic evaluation and translation work, and participated in technical engineering projects including a graduation ROV project graded A+.

My engineering background includes HVAC, MEP, and mechanical design skills (AutoCAD, Revit, SolidWorks) and practical internships at EgyptAir and renewable energy organizations. I combine technical rigor with linguistic nuance to improve AI language systems and deliver high-quality multilingual content and engineering solutions.
