At University of Warwick, I’m contributing to the STARIST project, developing NLP pipelines to analyse anonymised police case data for behavioural pattern detection and risk scoring. I’m also refining LLM-based prompts to extract structured information from unstructured law enforcement reports.

At Teradata, I modernised Mobily’s data warehouse, improving data accuracy by 40%, and optimised ETL pipelines to reduce runtime by 30–45%. At IBM, I built and maintained ETL pipelines for Vodafone Qatar and automated data ingestion using Python and Bash.
