About

Software Engineer with an MSc in Computer Engineering, based in Riyadh. For the past few years I've been building SaaS products at INVENTO. I started on the frontend team working on React applications, then moved to the backend team, where I build scalable, event-driven microservices in Go with gRPC, RabbitMQ, and Kubernetes.

My MSc research at Cyprus International University was published “Beyond 512 Tokens: Utilizing the BERT Language Model in Question Answering for Long Input Processing” which about extending BERT's capabilities for long-form question answering, work that carries into my interest in Transformers, LLMs, and long-context inference.

I care about clean systems, thoughtful architecture, and shipping things that actually work.
