Building AI that
actually works

I'm an AI Engineer based in Sharjah, UAE, specialising in Generative AI, Agentic AI systems, and LLM Security. I build things end-to-end — from architecture to deployment.

My background spans transformer-based NLP, multi-agent orchestration with LangGraph, RAG pipelines with hybrid retrieval, and AI red teaming. I've published research at IEEE on AI-generated phishing detection and hold an MSc in Cyber Security with Distinction.

What drives me is the intersection of capable AI and secure AI — systems that are intelligent and robust.

IEEE International Conference · 2025
Detecting Human-Written and AI-Generated Phishing Emails Using DistilBERT and Explainable AI
Developed a tri-class classification framework capable of distinguishing legitimate emails, human-written phishing, and AI-generated phishing — a critical distinction as LLM-powered attacks become indistinguishable from human-crafted ones. Applied SHAP and LIME explainability techniques to build analyst trust and enable interpretable security decisions.
