Generative AI systems,
taken from prototype to production.

I'm a Machine Learning Engineer and AI Researcher with 6+ years building agentic AI, RAG, and LLM fine-tuning systems on end-to-end MLOps pipelines across AWS and GCP — on a strong classical-ML and time-series foundation. Published researcher with 7 peer-reviewed papers and 560+ citations.

Research discipline, engineering delivery.

The rarer combination: someone who can defend a result in a Q1 journal and keep the same idea running on production infrastructure.

More about me
01

Agentic AI in production

Multi-step LLM workflows built as state machines — structured output validation, self-correction loops, tool calling, and fallback handling that survives real traffic.

02

Applied research that ships

7 peer-reviewed papers and 560+ citations, including a top-0.1% cited Computer Science paper — plus controlled LLM adaptation studies run on multi-GPU clusters.

03

MLOps that runs unattended

End-to-end pipelines on AWS SageMaker and MLflow: automated training, versioning, deployment, monitoring, and the CI/CD around them.

04

Forecasting & classical ML

Time-series and gradient-boosted models where the business case is measured in revenue and error bars — not demos.

Machine Learning Specialist at Almosafer.

Agentic AI and GenAI systems in production for the largest travel company in the Middle East, alongside revenue forecasting and MLOps platform work.

Full history
  • Re-architected a single-call LLM extraction system for airline booking emails into a multi-step agentic workflow (LangGraph, LangChain) with structured output validation, self-correction loops, and fallback handling, significantly improving extraction accuracy and reliability.
  • Built an agentic voice AI system (Retell AI) with LLM-driven dialogue management and tool calling to assist customer service, optimizing response quality and call-handling latency for real-time customer interactions.
  • Designed a post-call GenAI pipeline using LLM-based summarization, classification, and entity extraction to convert raw call transcripts into structured records automatically.
  • Deployed a time-series forecasting system for flight add-on revenue, enabling revenue optimization decisions that increased add-on revenue by 55%.
