At American University of Beirut, I contributed to finance research by applying unsupervised machine learning to unstructured text, analyzing the data, and evaluating clustering and topic quality. I’m also co-authoring a research paper on machine learning applied to financial data and co-developing a graduate course on Machine Learning for Algorithmic Trading.

For Dewan Al Qaser’s Wedding Booking Platform, I designed, built, and deployed a cross-platform booking app, including its normalized PostgreSQL data model and an admin dashboard. I’ve also developed and deployed ML projects for mental health risk classification and crime category prediction, with interactive Streamlit tools for real-time predictions.
