Independent AI researcher & developer
Intelligence.With imagination.
Arabic language research, practical AI tools
and a cinematic eye. Based in Abu Dhabi.
01 / Research & development
I work on Arabic language technology and video evaluation. These projects document the methods, results and limits behind the work.
New research · Public preprint
I led a controlled evaluation of five OCR-capable models across 7,000 synthetic numeral trials, with AI assistance. The study separates numeric correctness from numeral-script preservation.
Not peer reviewed. Statistical calibration limits the claims; these are not production error rates.
Arabic speech evaluation
Testing whether numeral values survive Arabic speech synthesis across different written forms.
My work: benchmark design, evaluation and scoring tools.
Evidence: test sentences, stored transcripts and a correction history. Scores use automatic transcription and a number parser; they are not human listening accuracy.
Arabic text tooling
A Python tool for finding stored presentation forms and selected source patterns that can damage Arabic text.
My work: investigation, tool development and documented findings.
Evidence: public source and audit records. Findings need context; they do not prove which processing step produced the text or cover every Arabic error.
Generative-video evaluation
Measuring camera motion in video and checking it against the direction requested.
My work: measurement tooling and calibration.
Evidence: public code, reports and documented calibration. It measures selected motion properties, not overall visual quality or every generation defect.
02 / Selected visual work
Desert light. Quiet gestures. Places between memory and imagination. Three ways into a body of original generative work.

A quality of light, a restrained palette, a sense of scale. These are the choices that connect the work, from the smallest gesture to an open landscape. Each image is composed, selected and sequenced with that visual language in mind.
These are original AI-generated studies, not documentary photographs or client commissions. The people and scenes are imagined. Open a work to see the full composition and a note on the image.
A closer look · Distance & return
“The desert keeps every journey and returns none of them unchanged.”
A caravan becomes a small mark between light and shadow. The scale of the dunes gives the journey its weight; the empty space lets it breathe.

Beyond the frame
The same attention to detail carries into the systems I build and the research I publish.
Creative tool
A small experiment in shared authorship. You bring a feeling, place or moment; the tool interprets it through a consistent visual direction. When live generation is unavailable, it shows a clearly labelled work from the archive.
My role: concept, visual direction & development
Applied research
What happens to Arabic text when a tool renders it, reads a PDF or speaks a number? Published experiments, datasets and open tools make those failures visible, with methods and limitations alongside the findings.
My role: investigation, evaluation & tool-building
Areas of practice
A personal portfolio of technical and creative work. Explore the questions, tools and visual studies behind the projects.
01
Films made with AI from end to end - concept, shot list, generated coverage, edit, grade and sound. Directed like a shoot, so character, light and continuity hold across every shot instead of drifting clip to clip.
02
Hero images and visual studies built around a shared palette, composition and quality of light. A considered set for a campaign, a pitch or a world that needs to be seen before it exists.
03
Matting and roto, background replacement, relighting, clean-up and compositing. The finish is judged against the shot: believable light, consistent edges and a subject that belongs in the frame.
04
Web and native apps with generation, accounts, billing and storage built in - carried from idea to something people actually use, live on the App Store and on the web, not a prototype that stops at the demo.
05
Systems that do the work rather than demonstrate it: agents that plan a job, run the pipeline, notice what broke and report back - wired into the tools a team already works in.
06
Custom workflows and model adaptation for a team's own visual material. Deployment, data handling and hardware requirements are designed around the project's needs.

Approach
“I want the technology to disappear — so what’s left is the idea, and how it makes you feel.”
I work across two sides that usually stay apart: I build the AI — the products, pipelines and tools — and I use it to make the work, from a single image to a full film. Living on both sides is the point; each one keeps sharpening the other.
The practice is rooted in the United Arab Emirates — its light, its pace, its ambition — and in one belief: AI is a new material, not a shortcut. The craft is in the taste and the restraint, not the button.
Whether it is a tool for a creative team or a single frame, the aim is the same: make something considered, useful and unmistakably its own.
