About me

I am a Senior AI Engineer, Explainable AI (XAI) Researcher, and AI Expert Consultant with over five years of deep, hands-on experience in artificial intelligence, machine learning, NLP, generative AI, and advanced analytics. As the CEO of MANAI IT Corporate and a recognized LinkedIn AI Top Voice, I dedicate my career to bridging the gap between cutting-edge AI technology and real-world impact, empowering organizations and individuals to harness AI for transformative results. Throughout my career, I have designed, deployed, and optimized AI systems across multiple domains. At MAN.AI, I enhanced content AI systems using advanced NLP techniques, sentiment analysis, content tagging, keyword extraction, and collaborative filtering. This work strengthened personalization frameworks, improved user engagement, and deepened my expertise in recommendation engines, retrieval systems, and AI-driven analytics. In academia, I am deeply committed to advancing Explainable AI and sustainable innovation. At Saint Mary’s University, I contributed to the InsightAI project, developing XAI tools and leveraging social neural networks to illuminate complex auditor-client relationships. My research uses deep learning and XAI techniques to enhance transparency, accountability, and decision-making. I have authored influential research papers, including “Revolutionizing Vocal Track Extraction” and GRNIX: Graph Neural Networks for Explainable Gene Regulatory Networks, providing pioneering insights into NLP, hybrid neural networks, and XAI. As a consultant for Tegus and Wivenn, I guide global clients throughout the AI lifecycle—from strategic design to production deployment. I integrate LLMs, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and generative AI into scalable, cloud-based solutions (GCP, AWS, Azure), following MLOps and LLMOps best practices while ensuring data privacy and compliance. I collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to deliver AI-driven insights, optimize operations, and launch innovative products that generate measurable impact. Beyond consulting and research, I am deeply involved in the global AI community. I am a technical reviewer for Packt Publisher, evaluating books on XAI, Python, generative AI, and data science to ensure high-quality content reaches learners worldwide. I have taught AI and Python at Smart Skills Academy, mentored students in the Google Developer Student Club, and inspired learners through hands-on projects that turn theory into practice. My international speaking engagements—over 60 events—cover NLP, XAI, generative AI, AI strategy, and practical AI applications, allowing me to share knowledge and foster innovation globally. I have also contributed to ambitious AI initiatives across emerging technologies. I built AI bots and avatars for the Metaverse at Talan Tunisia Consulting, optimized agricultural systems with AI at Omdena Global, and trained thousands of learners as an AI instructor and reviewer on Udemy. These experiences have strengthened my ability to translate AI research into tangible, real-world applications, whether in enterprise, education, or innovation-driven projects. Booking a session with me on Topmate provides access to cutting-edge AI expertise, actionable strategies, and personalized guidance. I help startup founders, executives, and aspiring AI professionals design AI-powered systems, optimize business processes, and craft career strategies, enabling them to navigate the rapidly evolving AI landscape with confidence. The future of AI is here, and I am dedicated to helping organizations and individuals lead it with innovation, accountability, and measurable results.
