Business leader, Connector, Event planner, Explorer, Idea generator, Scientist, Technologist, World traveler

Computer scientist, Applied AI / ML engineer, and IT Internal Auditor with experience across machine learning, generative AI, data science, and cloud security. At Bank al Etihad, I lead technology-driven initiatives that combine analytics, ML, and automation to strengthen fraud detection, improve control assurance, and support secure systems across AWS and Azure environments. My work focuses on building practical AI systems that are explainable, scalable, and useful in real-world enterprise settings. Alongside my professional work, I serve as Managing Director & Co-Founder of TEDxAmman. Through TEDxAmman and TEDxPSUT, I have led and supported multiple TEDx events across Jordan, helping build platforms where ideas, leadership, and community come together. In October 2025, TEDxAmman was hosted at the historic Roman Theatre under the Royal Patronage of HRH Princess Sumaya bint El Hassan, welcoming more than 4,000 attendees and marking a major milestone in Jordan’s TEDx journey. What drives me most is building bridges between technology and people, systems and storytelling, innovation and meaningful human impact.

Using technology, AI, and data to create meaningful impact while building platforms like TEDxAmman that give powerful ideas the stage they deserve.

When technology serves empathy and curiosity, innovation becomes a bridge that connects people, not just systems.

My TED journey began as a student fascinated by ideas that could shift how people think, lead, and create change. That curiosity became a purpose when I started organizing TEDx events in Jordan. In 2023, I became Organizer and Licensee of TEDxPSUT, where I led multiple TEDx formats including TEDxPSUT, TEDxPSUT Live, and TEDxPSUT Salon. Those experiences shaped my understanding of leadership, curation, storytelling, and what it truly takes to build a platform that moves people. That journey eventually led to TEDxAmman. In October 2025, TEDxAmman was hosted at the historic Roman Theatre in Amman under the Royal Patronage of HRH Princess Sumaya bint El Hassan, welcoming more than 4,000 attendees and establishing TEDxAmman as one of the largest TEDx conferences in the MENA region. The event also featured the TED Global Idea Search Session in Amman, in partnership with TED Conferences, creating a direct bridge between regional voices and TED’s global platform. One speaker from TEDxAmman was later selected to become an official speaker at TED 2026 in Vancouver, Canada, which made the experience even more meaningful for our community. Following TEDxAmman 2025, we also hosted the TEDx Regional Workshop Amman and the TEDx Organizers Gathering, welcoming TEDx leaders from across the Middle East to exchange ideas, share lessons, and strengthen the regional TEDx network. For me, TED is not only about events. It is about creating spaces where ideas can move people, strengthen communities, and inspire action. That is what continues to drive my journey with TED and TEDx.
