AI engineer in Amman, Jordan

I'm an AI engineer based in Amman, Jordan, and an AI Fellow at Al Hussein Technical University (HTU). I work on how LLM models are adapted, combined and orchestrated, from letting one foundation model carry many specialized minds at once, to cohesive experiences across text, visuals, motion and video. Underneath it all is data: transforming vast, unruly collections into carefully curated corpora that models can genuinely learn from.

In short

I'm one of 20 fellows in the inaugural cohort of 9XAI, Jordan's national AI initiative hosted by the National Council for Future Technology and Al Hussein Technical University, where we develop and validate AI solutions with the country's institutional and governmental partners.

Before that, I built a production medical RAG chatbot and a duplicate-detection engine at Altibbi, and loan-repayment prediction models at z28.ai. In my own time I build open-source tools for AI agents, such as House of Wisdom, an MCP server that consults several model families at once.

Where I've worked

  1. 9XAI Fellow (Lighthouse Cohort)

    Al Hussein Technical University and National Council for Future Technology

    I was selected as 1 of 20 fellows for the inaugural national AI initiative, following a competitive, multi-stage evaluation process. The initiative, hosted by the National Council for Future Technology (NCFT) and Al Hussein Technical University (HTU), develops and validates AI solutions across Jordan's institutional and governmental partners while tackling nationwide challenges.

  2. Junior Artificial Intelligence Engineer

    z28.ai

    • Engineered memory-efficient ETL pipelines using Pandas chunking and BigQuery, processing multi-GB datasets (1M+ records).
    • Built an engine to identify and extract thousands of attributes from an unstructured HTML blob embedded in a database column.
    • Implemented automated data quality profiling, calculating null-rates and distribution statistics across dynamic schema columns.
    • Designed a snapshot modeling pipeline to generate training datasets for borrowers, loans, payments, and call-history features.
    • Conducted segment-level lift analysis to quantify repayment probability uplift across behavioral cohorts relative to baseline.
    • Implemented LightGBM models with class imbalance calibration, feature auditing, and cohort breakdowns, achieving 0.91 AUC.
    • Developed an ML interpretability pipeline to bridge the gap between high-performing ML models and business stakeholder trust.

  3. Artificial Intelligence Engineer

    Altibbi

    Duplicates Detector System

    • Built an end-to-end ETL pipeline for 10+ MySQL tables with data cleaning, content consolidation, and resumable processing.
    • Created a scalable embedding workflow with batching, caching, and storage of 100k+ vectors and metadata in ChromaDB.
    • Reduced the detection process from 3 hours to 15 minutes by building a rapid engine with cosine similarity and star clustering.
    • Added production safeguards, read-only DB access, metadata handling, a Streamlit UI, and config-based automated runs.

    Medical RAG Chatbot

    • Built an asynchronous web-scraping pipeline to collect and chunk 15k+ Altibbi news and articles with fault tolerance.
    • Designed and deployed a production embedding pipeline storing vectors in both Milvus and Qdrant for semantic search.
    • Implemented a 3-layer RAG stack (classification, refinement, retrieval) with OpenAI models and strict source citation.
    • Set up CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins and Bitbucket, integrating Docker-based builds to streamline deployment workflows.

  4. Rotational Intern

    Islamic International Arab Bank

    • Assisted in an Oracle 21c installation, learned Oracle RAC, and managed backups, LTO tapes, and card issuance.
    • Assisted in database administration and SDLC across 11 IT departments, focusing on middleware and API management.
    • Had exposure to enterprise banking systems (iMAL) and security frameworks, including ArcSight and intrusion prevention.

Featured work

At Altibbi

Duplicate Detection Platform

An end-to-end system for finding near-duplicate medical content: a secure sync pipeline, a vector-based detection layer with cosine similarity and star clustering, and a Streamlit dashboard. It cut a 3-hour detection run to 15 minutes across 100k+ vectors.

At Altibbi

Medical RAG Chatbot

Answers Arabic medical questions from 15,000+ scraped Altibbi articles through a 3-layer RAG pipeline (classification, refinement, retrieval) with strict source citation. Vectors live in both Milvus and Qdrant, and builds ship through Jenkins and Docker.
