I am a PMI Certified Professional in Managing AI (PMI-CPMAI™) and Certified AI Scientist (CAIS™) with over 8 years of experience in AI strategy, project management, and technical development. Currently serving as Head of AI Unit at King Khalid University and contributing to the Institutional Innovation Axis within the Tenth Section: Research and Innovation of the Government Digital Transformation Index, I specialize in managing AI initiatives, Large Language Models (LLMs), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), Computer Vision, and Digital Transformation. My expertise spans from AI governance and strategy to hands-on development and deployment of enterprise AI solutions.

With deep expertise in modern AI technologies, I work extensively with LLMs, RAG systems, vector databases (like Pinecone, Weaviate, and Chroma), and vLLM for high-performance model serving. My research focuses on developing intelligent systems that combine the power of large language models with domain-specific knowledge through advanced retrieval mechanisms and vector similarity search.

I hold a Master of Engineering degree in Control and Automation using AI from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia and a Master of AI Engineering from IBM, both with distinction. My work has been recognized with multiple awards including the Digital Innovation Award from the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology of Saudi Arabia and the Best Master Research Award from IEEE Malaysia.
