Open to graduate roles · 2026
AI graduate, model builder, problem solver
I build models that see and learn, and I check where they look.
I'm an AI graduate drawn to problems where the answer has to be measured, not guessed. I've taken models from raw data to evaluation, compared them across several metrics, and explained the results in plain language.

How much does a blurry eye photo throw off an AI's severity grade? I built a benchmark from a public collection of 92,501 eye images to find out.
ROS 2 · Nav2 · OpenCV
A simulated robot that drives itself, spots potholes and logs each one's position on the map. It found 16 of 18 in a typical run.
OpenAI API · Flask
For RDK Live: a learner types a goal, and an LLM builds a personalised path through the client's course library.
A quick look at other things I've worked on.
Face recognition on the Yale Faces dataset with a DenseNet pipeline in Azure Machine Learning, then tested on covered and altered faces. Small, but it's where I started.
A full-stack chatbot website on the OpenAI API, built following Agile principles. It was our first hands-on project in human-computer interaction (HCI).
Research and implementation work in human-computer interaction and explainable AI.
Team research on governing a facial recognition system used for security in the UK, which ended in a debate against a team arguing the opposite side.
A group student project built to compete with Too Good To Go: a mobile-first web app for reserving surplus meals from nearby restaurants. I worked on the front end.
A Unity VR prototype for people who feel lonely: put on the headset and the office around you comes alive with characters walking about.
Driven by data, checked by evaluation.

Where I've been
Three years studying AI at Northumbria University in Newcastle. My dissertation measured how image quality changes what an AI model sees when grading diabetic retinopathy, and the university commended it for its publication potential.
Twelve weeks as an AI consultant in a student team from my university, working for RDK Live, a client in Durham, UK. I led the OpenAI integration, built the front end, and presented progress to the client in plain language.
I'm excited to start my first role in machine learning, computer vision or applied AI. I'm based in Saudi Arabia and open to relocation. Hiring, or just curious about my work? I'd love to hear from you.
Hi again
I'm Omar, a Saudi based in Dammam who studied AI in Newcastle. My strengths are experimental design, technical writing and explaining complex ideas clearly.
Now
Ready for my first role in machine learning, computer vision or applied AI. Based in Saudi Arabia, open to relocation.
eSports
I represented Northumbria's eSports club, part of the Students' Union, in competitions against other UK universities.
