About

I'm a final-year Telecommunications Engineering student bridging enterprise networking with applied AI.

I built the Almadar AI RAG chatbot, placed 2nd in the PrestoAI Arabic E-Commerce Search & Retrieval Challenge on Kaggle, and I'm currently deepening my deep learning skills across AI in general. On the networking side I work with core routing protocols like OSPF and EIGRP, and I automate workflows with Python and n8n. I also hold a MathWorks MATLAB certification and enjoy signal processing.

Outside the lab, I serve on the program committee of the IEEE University of Tripoli Student Branch, helping run technical workshops and events for engineering students.

  • Rust & Tauri
  • Three.js
  • Linux & Bash
  • Git & GitHub

Projects

From AI assistants to desktop tools and 3D maps of home.

Featured RAG chatbot
  1. QuestionSomeone asks in plain language
  2. RetrieveEmbedding search pulls candidate passages
  3. Re-rankA cross-encoder scores each passage against the question
  4. AnswerThe reply is written from the top passages only

Almadar AI

A retrieval-augmented chatbot that answers questions from Almadar's own source material instead of guessing. It pulls the most relevant passages, re-ranks them, and writes an answer grounded in what it found.

  • RAG
  • Embeddings
  • Cross-encoder re-ranking
  • NLP
  • Python
75 stars 6 forks

PDF Enhancer

An offline desktop app that turns photographed or scanned pages into crisp, high-contrast PDFs. It finds the page border, corrects perspective, applies adaptive thresholding, and compresses to 1-bit CCITT G4.

  • Python
  • OpenCV
  • PyMuPDF
  • CustomTkinter

Experience

Competitions, leadership, training, and study.

  1. 2nd place

    AI Trainee

    Samsung Innovation Campus, Artificial Intelligence course

    Trained in Samsung Innovation Campus's AI course in Libya. For the course's capstone, my team built AI Telecom, applying AI to telecommunications, and placed 2nd out of 155 participants.

  2. 2nd place

    PrestoAI Arabic E-Commerce Search & Retrieval Challenge

    Kaggle competition, 2026

    Ranked catalog products for real Arabic shopping queries, which mix local dialects, English brand names, and spelling variants like missing hamzas or ة written as ه. Finished 2nd of 38 teams on the leaderboard. View leaderboard
