The Tasqat innovation management system is a leading B2B software in the Middle East and North Africa. It helps businesses manage innovation processes, such as tracking their ideas, progress, and results.

The tool provides accurate 3D views of an entire data center, including servers, storage, networking equipment, rack power distribution units, patch panels, and applications. It implements advanced algorithms to parse AutoCAD files and produce a 3D version with minimal human intervention.

DARPA created the CSFV program to investigate whether large numbers of non-experts can perform formal verification faster and more cost-effectively than conventional processes. The goal was to transform verification into a more accessible task by creating fun, intuitive games that reflect formal verification problems. Playing the games would help software verification tools complete corresponding formal verification proofs.

THE CHALLENGE:
Not enough Americans have adopted solar energy, and it is believed that soft costs plus numerous barriers to adopt solar have hindered overall uptake. As part of its ongoing mission to boost the adoption of solar energy, the US DOE announced a competition series called SunShot Catalyst to help cutting-edge companies speed up time-to-market for innovative new solar solutions. Participants were challenged to submit problem statements that could be solved through automation, algorithms, data, and software.

THE SOLUTION:
Through an open call for ideas that generated hundreds of submissions, the DOE and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory curated top ideas for business models into a grouping of 17 unique finalists. These 17 teams were each given access to the Topcoder platform and a budget of $25,000, enabling them to execute quickly on design concepts, prototypes, and minimum viable products.

NASA has recorded over 100 terabytes of space images, telemetry, models, and just about everything one can imagine from all the planetary missions from the past 30 years. The data stored is within NASA's planetary data system (PDS).

The PDS project is to set up a POC for a Pinterest-like research tool that links the PDS with users who want to create research projects.

Mturification is a web automation SaaS product that allows game app developers to offer cash rewards ("Pay To Play") model for Beta Testers and Gamers via the Amazon MTurk platform.

Mturification is a multi-tenant SaaS that exposes API for game app developers to integrate with Amazon MTurk API with the web admin dashboard.

Fighting obesity is a strategic objective in the UAE. The idea is to install an IoT mini gym inside classes across UAE for students to play with on their break or during math classes.

The project was developed using scales, sensors, Raspberry Pi, the JavaScript stack app, and an Android tablet.

The project has three parts:

• The TV dashboard displays ongoing activities during play or the Leaderboard at the ideal time.
• An Android app to launch IoT device games.
• The 9x9 tile grid on the floor and wall, managed by the RaspberyPI device, interacts via the TCP/IP ethernet and wires.

The product was implemented to comply with ISO 21500, address the client's need to manage portfolios and projects across different countries, and manage and cascade tasks across departments.

The system was built with localization and internationalization features, dashboards, reports, and a visualized PDF report generation feature.

Abu Dhabi Government initiated a project to fully transform all government services to be offered online through a consistent digital transformation platform where any citizen can apply for these services.

I led the project as a tech lead and solution architect, designing the processes and managing the resources to execute them for 25 entities with hundreds of processes via a world-class low code platform and Camunda business process platform.

Spearheaded the end-to-end process of localizing a comprehensive fitness application to support RTL languages, specifically Arabic and Hebrew. The project involved detailed analysis and adaptation of UI/UX to ensure cultural relevance and usability, development of language-specific features, and coordination with engineering teams to implement RTL layouts. Resulted in a significant user base expansion and enhanced user experience.
