EXPERIENCE
12+ years building
at telecom scale.
From legacy batch pipelines to production ML systems and AI applications — the engineering journey behind TASPRA.
ENGINEERING TIMELINE
Where the experience comes from.
Not side projects — systems that process millions of records daily in live production environments.
DATA ENGINEERING · stc (Saudi Telecom)
Telecom-scale CDR pipeline engineering
Designed and built PySpark pipelines processing Call Detail Records at telecom scale. Rebuilt legacy batch systems into Delta Lake lakehouse architectures — handling schema evolution, traffic spikes, and operational reliability without emergency patches. Oracle DB, Hive/Hadoop, NiFi, Amdocs JAF billing workflows.
MACHINE LEARNING · Production Systems
Production ML — not notebook ML
Built churn prediction models that plug directly into retention campaign systems — not reports, but automated daily pipelines generating ranked at-risk customer lists fed into CRM tooling. Feature engineering, model training and evaluation with PySpark ML, scheduled refresh and drift monitoring.
AI ENGINEERING · LLMs & Agents
LLMs with guardrails
Working with LLMs, RAG systems, and AI agents in contexts where hallucination is not acceptable — billing data, financial documents, operational systems. Building the grounding, evaluation, and fallback logic that makes AI reliable rather than just impressive.
PRODUCTS & STUDIO · TASPRA
Building in public
Founded TASPRA to package engineering expertise into products, services, and digital resources. Starting with the NRI Financial Toolkit for the Gulf NRI community, and a growing catalog of AI and data engineering tools. Building every system documented in the Build Notes.
