I'm building AI systems that help physicians spend less time on paperwork and more time with patients. Currently focused on solving healthcare documentation burnout in the Middle East through Arabic-first AI.

Most of my recent work lives in private repositories at Nuxera AI, where we're building production healthcare systems that require HIPAA compliance and IP protection.

📊 2025 Contributions: 714+ commits (and counting)
📊 2024 Contributions: 456 commits across multiple projects
📊 2022 Contributions: 2,522 commits (peak development year)

My contribution graph tells the real story - I'm hands-on with code daily.

At Nuxera AI:

• SERA Platform - Real-time medical transcription across 28 Arabic dialects
• NL-to-SQL Engine - Natural language queries for healthcare data ("Talk to Your Data")
• Medical NLP Pipeline - Automatic coding to ICD-10, SNOMED, ACHI standards
• Production MLOps - Scalable inference infrastructure using MLX and quantization
• EMR Integration Layer - Seamless integration with existing hospital systems

Impact: 70% reduction in physician documentation time | Processing conversations in <500ms latency

• DuckDB-NSQL-7B Models - Natural language to SQL for healthcare queries
  • Quantized versions (4-bit, 8-bit) optimized for production
  • MLX framework for efficient Apple Silicon inference
  • Part of Nuxera's "Talk to Your Data" feature

From iOS to AI:
Started coding at 8 on a Commodore 64. Built 100+ mobile/web apps over 15 years. Now applying that product thinking and engineering discipline to solve real problems in healthcare AI.

Why Healthcare + Arabic?
Most healthcare AI tools fail in the Middle East because they're English-first. We're fixing that. Arabic is complex (28 dialects, right-to-left, diacritics), medical terminology doesn't translate cleanly, and EMR systems vary widely. These constraints make the problem interesting - and the impact meaningful.

Philosophy:
Great CTOs write code. Technology serves people. The best products solve real problems for underserved markets.

• 2024-Present: Co-Founder & CTO, Nuxera AI (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia)
• 2023-2024: Venture Partner, Antler (Middle East)
• 2017-2023: Founder, Hallo Helper & Scholar Den
• 2010-2017: CEO, Software Development Agency (100+ projects)
• 2005-2010: iOS Engineer, Early mobile app development

Healthcare AI requires:

• ✅ Patient privacy (HIPAA, local regulations)
• ✅ Proprietary IP protection (competitive advantage)
• ✅ Security compliance (healthcare data is sensitive)
• ✅ Enterprise contracts (clients require closed-source)

Our core platform is closed-source by necessity, but I share:

• Public model variants on HuggingFace
• Technical insights on my blog
• Open-source tools when possible
• Architecture patterns and learnings
