About Me

I'm a senior at Zewail City of Science and Technology โ€” Egypt's top STEM university โ€” graduating June 2026 with a 3.62/4.0 GPA (Cum Laude) in Communication & Information Engineering.

My research asks a simple question: how do we make AI work where it's actually needed? During my internship at NUST Pakistan, I helped a team win 1st place at FinAI 2025 (IEEE) by showing a carefully fine-tuned smaller model can beat billion-dollar proprietary systems.

At Takhail, I build production RAG pipelines and real-time multimodal security systems. My graduation project Rafeeq is a smart wheelchair with offline Arabic voice recognition โ€” because healthcare AI needs to speak everyone's language, literally.

Especially excited about Arabic NLP, efficient LLM adaptation, and systems that matter to underrepresented communities. Planning to pursue a Master's in Computer Science next!

๐Ÿ’ก "Rafeeq" (ุฑููŠู‚) means "companion" in Arabic โ€” because good AI should feel like a trusted friend, not a machine.

Rafeeq โ€” Smart Wheelchair AI
We are currently building Rafeeq โ€” an intelligent wheelchair companion designed to restore independence for people with mobility challenges. Our goal is to develop an offline Arabic speech recognition system running on Raspberry Pi, making voice control accessible without internet dependency. We aim to integrate real-time health monitoring (HR, SpOโ‚‚, Temperature) with automatic emergency alerts via Twilio on fall detection or critical vital signs. The vision: edge AI that speaks Arabic, works anywhere, and genuinely serves underserved communities.

FinVerse Agent: Resource-Efficient Financial LLMs with Modular LoRA Fine-Tuning and Task Routing
L. Rana, A. Amin, H. Ameer, and S. Latif
A modular adapter framework for domain adaptation across 15 financial NLP tasks using a 4-bit-quantized LLaMA-3.1-8B base model. Achieves 10ร— computational reduction while matching or outperforming proprietary models (GPT-4 and BloombergGPT) on financial benchmarks. Demonstrates that parameter-efficient fine-tuning can make LLMs practical in resource-constrained environments.
