What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build end-to-end ML and LLM systems, particularly in Arabic NLP, graph ML, and applied AI, where I can combine research with production backend delivery.

I built a production bilingual Arabic/English invoice OCR API for I'SUPPLY, using custom LCS fuzzy matching and spatial reconstruction to handle mixed-script documents. I also delivered backend infrastructure for a multi-tenant pharmacy SaaS, including Laravel, RBAC, search, Azure CI/CD, and self-hosted VoIP infrastructure.

My research spans fixed-memory recurrent language models, graph reasoning, and sentence embeddings. I developed RiverNet, where GRU variants outperformed parameter-matched Transformers under constrained compute, and built Investo, an RL-driven Egyptian-market robo-advisor combining SAC portfolio optimisation, GMM risk profiling, and Black-Litterman allocation.
