Fifteen years across the ML lifecycle, from production risk and fraud models to enterprise MLOps and LLMOps platforms, now architecting an enterprise agentic AI platform for a large regulated organisation in the UAE. Designs the full stack beneath agentic systems — tool and API gateways, orchestration with state and memory, retrieval and vector foundations, and a control plane spanning harness engineering, evaluation gating, governance and token economics. Platform investment turned into measured results, including a ~92% cut in document retrieval time and ~35% faster release velocity against baseline.

Strategic AI Architect
<p>Architecting DEWA's enterprise agentic AI platform — the governed, reusable foundation on which the internal agent factory and business departments build and run agentic systems — working forward-deployed with those teams as the platform's customers.</p><p> Delivered Phase 1: harness engineering and the observability layer live, consumed by the agent factory and by departmental agentic systems running under harness control.</p><p> Completed the platform design — agent orchestration, tool and API gateway, memory and state, reusable harness patterns for multi-use-case deployment — now in development.</p><p> Designing the control plane: evaluation gating, AI governance, and token economics tied to value realisation.</p><p> Building the enterprise MLOps platform beneath it — CI/CD/CT, model registry, vLLM inference serving, drift and latency monitoring — standardising training, deployment and promotion across the AI portfolio.</p><p> Defining reference architecture and standards in alignment with the CAIO and platform leadership so delivery teams onboard onto a common foundation rather than build bespoke.</p>
Principal AI Architect
<p>Led enterprise AI architecture for a regulated client, taking the MLOps and LLMOps platform from HLD/LLD through live operation across Dev, UAT and Production — embedded with the client's engineering and security teams from first design to go-live.</p><p> Configured vLLM model serving for production GenAI workloads alongside RAG pipelines and agentic orchestration (LangGraph, AutoGen), with evaluation, guardrails and versioning built in.</p><p> Engineered the model lifecycle toolchain: MLflow registry, automated training and validation, drift detection, retraining triggers and controlled promotion gates.</p><p> Defined platform standards and CoE frameworks that let multiple teams reuse pipelines and patterns; built the infrastructure as code with Terraform/Terragrunt on Azure and AWS, integrated with GitLab CI/CD and secure runner execution.</p><p> Delivered a production-ready enterprise MLOps and LLMOps platform end to end, enabling governed AI adoption across teams with repeatable, auditable deployments.</p>
Lead Data Scientist
<p>Led end-to-end delivery of production ML and GenAI systems for enterprise clients, forward-deployed with risk, compliance and audit teams from problem framing through deployment, monitoring and automated retraining.</p><p> Built and operationalised MLOps and LLMOps pipelines — CI/CD, model and prompt versioning, real-time monitoring and rollback — for repeatable, auditable releases.</p><p> Engineered a cost-efficient, sustainability-aware architecture that minimised compute and storage overhead while holding enterprise-grade quality and traceability.</p><p> Delivered a GenAI-powered Intelligent Document Processing platform on LLMs and RAG (ingestion, classification, extraction, validation) that cut document retrieval time by ~92% at enterprise scale.</p>
Architect – Technology (AI & Data Platforms)
<p>Designed AI analytics and cloud-native data platforms for retail and enterprise clients on Azure, owning architecture and system-design decisions end to end.</p><p> Engineered large-scale retail POS data pipelines on Azure Databricks and built sales-forecasting models using Gaussian Process Regression, LSTM sequence models and Azure AutoML.</p><p> Improved sales-forecasting accuracy by ~15% and cut POS data processing time by ~40%.</p>
Lead Data Scientist – Risk & Fraud Analytics
<p>Directed a data science team delivering production machine learning for fraud detection and credit risk in a regulated lending environment, embedded with the client's risk and engineering teams from problem framing to live decisioning.</p><p> Took models from notebook to production — feature pipelines, rigorous evaluation, deployment support, post-launch monitoring — and established repeatable training workflows, versioned artefacts and validation gates with engineering.</p><p> Reduced fraudulent personal loan applications by 25% at ~93% model recall, tightening portfolio risk control and cutting manual review load.</p>
Founder & Data Science Specialist
<p>Ran a data science consultancy for five years delivering custom ML for risk, decisioning and profitability — forward-deployed inside each client's business from problem framing to models running in live, real-time decisioning systems.</p><p> Took every engagement past proof of concept into production, with integration into operational workflows and hand-over the client's teams could run.</p><p> Reduced credit losses by ~20% and improved profitability by ~18% through deployed credit-risk and borrower-behaviour models.</p>
