AI/ML Engineer & Researcher | Data Science | Deep Learning | LLMs

I’m an AI/ML Engineer, Data Scientist, Researcher, and Software Engineer with 15+ years of experience developing intelligent, data driven, and mission critical software systems. Since starting my engineering career in 2011, I’ve worked across a wide range of technically challenging domains, including radar tracking systems, oil & gas data, machine learning, deep learning, data science, artificial intelligence, automation, and modern LLM based applications. Since 2019, I have also been working as a researcher at a university in the UAE, combining academic research with practical software and AI development. This experience has given me a strong ability to work on problems that require research, experimentation, algorithm development, data analysis, automation, and innovative solutions to complex technical challenges. My areas of expertise include: • Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning • Deep Learning & Neural Networks • Generative AI & Large Language Models (LLMs) • Data Science & Statistical Analysis • Python & R • Scripting & Process Automation • AI Powered Automation • Natural Language Processing (NLP) • Computer Vision • Time Series Analysis & Forecasting • Predictive Modeling • Data Processing, Cleaning & Analysis • Data Visualization • Algorithm Development & Optimization • Research, Prototyping & Proof of Concept Development • Backend & Software Engineering • Workflow and Task Automation • API Integration & Data Pipelines My background is somewhat unique: I combine 15+ years of software engineering experience with years of AI/ML research and hands on data science experience . I can work across the entire lifecycle from understanding a problem and exploring the data, to researching and developing an approach, building the model or algorithm, automating processes, and integrating everything into a reliable software solution. I enjoy solving complex, real world problems and turning manual, repetitive, or technically challenging processes into efficient, intelligent, and scalable solutions . Whether you need help with an AI/ML model, data science project, LLM application, research problem, Python/R development, scripting, automation, algorithm development, or a complete software solution , I bring both the research mindset and engineering experience needed to turn complex ideas into practical results.
