The events operator who builds AI systems.
Twelve years running major events across the UAE, GCC and beyond, and the data scientist who builds the AI behind them.
Production & Operations Manager · Data Scientist (Kaggle Expert) · AI & Digital Transformation · VIP & Government Programs. GITEX · COP28 · Dubai World Cup · Gulfood · Al Ain Flower Festival.
A rare combination, run on four rules.
Most people are an operator or a builder. The events industry is operationally mature but AI-immature. That gap is exactly where I work.
Proof, not claims
Every number on this page is real and verifiable. I would rather show a working system than describe one.
Operator who builds
I've spent a decade on the floor those systems must survive on, so what I build holds up live.
Shipped, not slideware
I translate frontier AI into deployed operational tools with measured results, not decks and intentions.
Best tool wins
Zero loyalty to any vendor. Each job goes to the model or method that actually does it best.

The long tail: 8 more engagements across the UAE
Not slides. Systems that run.
A data-science foundation pushed all the way to production AI. Every figure below is repo-verified.
Auto Pilot – Events Operating System
Seven specialist agents plus a director orchestrate 95 registered tools over an event-sourced Postgres + pgvector spine, fronted by a 23-page web app. A pricing model trained on 1,136 real price points cut estimation error by roughly two-thirds. Four cost modes from $0 to ~$300/month. In production usage since July 2026.
Brain
A multi-domain knowledge base with persistent memory, automated scheduled briefs and an agent runner that orchestrates daily research, planning and reporting. The automation I use on live productions every day.
Fluencer HiveLive
An agency plus the operational tooling I built to run it: creator data extraction, outreach that cites the creator's actual work, contract generation and reporting. Proof I build the businesses, not just the software.
MizanLive
Multi-currency income and obligations, a Hanafi-method zakat engine, sadaka tracking and a digital wasiyya. Built on Next.js and Supabase with row-level security and idempotent migrations. The link opens the real deployment, behind its own sign-in, because the data inside is family financial data.
Kaza UmriLive
It counts the prayers you owe and walks you through repaying them, at your pace, without shame: a debt calculator, a 40-day habit challenge and a daily tracker. A real product for a market almost nobody serves properly.
Kaggle Expert Portfolio
End-to-end machine learning from raw data to deployed Streamlit apps, plus virtual data programs with British Airways, KPMG, Red Bull and Tata Group.
