About
I’m studying for an Associate Diploma in Web Programming & Development at the Digital Technical College in Riyadh.
I love building for the web: front end, back end and databases, from the first layout to the SQL behind it. It’s what I study, and it’s what I build with every day.
And I love AI in its own right: training computer vision models and working with LLMs. In MS SmartScan, a YOLO model finds lesions on MRI scans and a Python web app shows the result, the next diagnostic steps, and a live patient registry. During my co-op at Amjad Watan, I built an AI photo booth for National Day. Robotics competitions are where I learned to build fast with a team.
Education & experience
-
Sep – Dec 2026
Innovation & Technology Intern (Co-op)
Amjad Watan · Supply Chain, Technical Services UnitA structured 12-week programme across web, UI/UX, real-time apps, AI and event hardware, alongside live projects. I helped design and build an AI photo booth and its companion apps for corporate National Day events, including an interactive photo experience.

AI & Robotics Teaching Assistant (Intern)
“Sayfak Thaki” Summer Camp for the Gifted · AI Arena · RiyadhCoached middle-school students in robotics fundamentals and basic AI concepts as they prepared for the World Robot Olympiad (WRO). The camp ran at the gifted centres in Riyadh with the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Communications and IT, and the Saudi Federation for Robotics. I co-ran hands-on workshops and kept technical ideas simple enough for complete beginners.

Projects
MS SmartScan
A medical web tool that finds white-matter lesions on MRI scans, which can point to multiple sclerosis (MS) or small vessel disease (SVD). A doctor uploads a scan or captures it with a camera, a YOLO model flags the lesions, and the result comes with the diagnostic tests that tell MS and SVD apart. A second site, the patient registry, shows statistics, history and Excel export, and updates live. It runs fully offline on a Raspberry Pi, in English and Arabic. A team project, presented at the Healthon 2026 hackathon.

Arabic LLM Arena: HUMAIN vs OpenAI
Solo project · full-stack & applied AIWhich model understands Arabic and Saudi dialect better? A blind side-by-side arena: two anonymous models (HUMAIN’s ALLaM and OpenAI) stream their answers live, the user votes, and only then are the names revealed. Each vote updates an Elo rating per category (dialect, MSA, culture, code, translation), and an LLM judge with structured JSON output grades the same round, so the site measures how often AI and humans agree. It also tracks latency and cost per answer, and recommends a model per category once there is enough evidence.
- Stack
- TypeScript · Cloudflare Workers · D1 (SQLite) · Server-Sent Events · HTML / CSS / JS
- AI
- Two LLM providers streamed in parallel, LLM-as-a-judge with JSON Schema, Elo ranking, Arabic dialect classifier
- Security
- Keys kept server-side, per-IP rate limits with hashed IPs, escaped model output, one atomic vote per round
Harf fil Hawa: write letters in the air
Solo project · computer vision & deep learningWrite Arabic letters in the air with your finger in front of a webcam. MediaPipe tracks the hand in the browser, a pinch starts drawing with a calligraphy-style brush, and a CNN I trained with PyTorch on real handwriting (AHCD) reads each letter and builds words. The network runs in plain JavaScript with no library. An open palm stops writing, shaking it erases, hovering presses buttons, and corrections teach it your own handwriting.

- CNN trained in PyTorch (84% on unseen writers), int8 weights, inference in plain JS, thinning-based preprocessing shared by training and the browser
AI Photo Booth & National Day apps
Front-end & UI developer · Amjad WatanAn AI photo booth that turns a visitor’s photo into a portrait through the eras of the Kingdom, plus companion apps for corporate National Day events.
Raf Al-Riyadh: AI book recommender
Personal project · Riyadh International Book Fair themeA chatbot that recommends books based on what you like to read, themed around the Riyadh International Book Fair. I connected it to HUMAIN’s M3 Preview language model through its API and wrote instructions that keep it focused on book recommendations only.
