Ventures / Research Translation

Research is more valuable when it can become infrastructure.

I build research-backed systems where evidence, operational need and scalable technology meet — across workforce intelligence, digital health, education, responsible AI and institutional transformation.

Venture portfolio

Problem → evidence → system → scale.

The portfolio spans working systems, public prototypes and research-backed venture concepts. The common build logic is the same: define the consequential problem, make the evidence inspectable, build the operating layer, then design for adoption and governance.

Evidence-backed capability network

Kamin

Kamin 1.0 · Public release
Public ReleaseUpdated 2026

My role: project concept and capability-network design.

Understand your capabilities. Explain your next step.

Kamin connects a student’s interests, goals and reviewed academic evidence in a capability network. Its user-controlled profile explains how learning and career pathways relate to the person, where evidence is missing and what to explore next.

Kamin 1.0 is a public release built around an evidence-backed capability network: every relation shows its source, and transcripts are read in the browser rather than sent to a server. Current pathways are reference examples; recommendation quality is an active validation question.

Strategy-to-workforce intelligence

MIYAR

Release 6.0 · Public pilot
Public PilotUpdated 2026

My role: co-development with Ahmad Raza Khan.

From strategy to an approved workforce decision.

MI’YĀR connects strategy, organizational design, job evaluation, workforce planning, compensation and approval. Developed with Ahmad Raza Khan, it makes assumptions, role responsibilities and review steps visible across the workflow.

Release 6.0 starts from one sentence: describe the goal or problem and MI’YĀR suggests a reviewable role reference and the next action. It adds two-step sign-in, an isolated demo organization and a guided ten-minute tour.

The public prototype supports exploration and evaluation. Institutional pilots should validate data, approval rules and integration needs in their own setting.

Strategy & structureTranslate strategic intent into organization and job architecture.
Scenarios & costExplore workforce plans, job evaluation and compensation assumptions.
Review & approvalCarry the evidence and responsibilities into an explicit approval workflow.
Workforce Decision Intelligence

Kinetic HR

Public prototype · Early-warning decision layer
PrototypeUpdated 2026

My role: product concept, decision logic and workforce-intelligence direction.

See workforce pressure before it becomes a staffing crisis.

Kinetic HR is a bilingual workforce decision-intelligence prototype designed to sit alongside existing HR systems. It surfaces capacity signals, workforce gaps and decision queues, then lets users explore staffing scenarios without writing back to source systems.

The current prototype also exposes data-quality, provenance and audit views so recommendations can be traced to their measurement basis rather than presented as opaque AI output.

Early warningSurface workforce pressure, capacity gaps and decision bottlenecks before escalation.
Scenario labCompare staffing responses and their operational effect without writing back to source systems.
AuditabilityKeep data quality, provenance and decision logic visible for institutional review.
Personalized Medicine

GenomeFit

Co-founded venture
PrototypeUpdated 2017

My role: co-founder.

From genomic information to more individualized health decisions.

GenomeFit emerged from personalized-medicine work in the KAUST innovation ecosystem, using genomic analysis to support genetic screening and drug-response decisions.

My role: founder and technology leadership during hospital digital modernization.

Patient access as part of hospital digital modernization.

SHIFAA was founded and launched at King Abdulaziz University Hospital as part of a broader digital-modernization program, improving the way patients access services and interact with the hospital digitally.

TranslationFrom service challenge to patient-facing platform
Additional systems & public work

Not every consequential system is a venture.

Some work belongs in a different category: public prototypes, teaching systems, research software and institutional platforms. I keep them separate so maturity and purpose remain clear.

STRATEGY SYSTEM · PUBLIC BETA

SULTAN

Public BetaUpdated 2026

My role: strategy architecture and product direction.

A strategy-building workspace that connects institutional identity and ambition to explicit choices, authority, annual transitions, initiatives and funding context.

Public beta 0.13 starts with three lines (organisation, goal, main obstacle) and returns a decision draft with a first step and a measure of progress. It adds council review, editable board packs, strategic services and an optional offline app.

Purpose: strategy architecture and decision governance.
Status: public beta; presented as an evolving workspace rather than a finished enterprise product.

iSCARB

iSCARB — defensible engineering judgment

LiveUpdated 2026

My role: method creator and course lead.

When AI can generate an answer, students still need to explain why it is justified and when it stops being justified. iSCARB is implemented across nine software-engineering chapters and assignments, connecting a choice to its assumptions, boundaries, action and evidence. From Chapter 12, story-led lectures turn each chapter into a decision case, supported by executable labs, a two-minute ownership check and an AI study coach: AI is the practice layer, and engineering judgment is what is assessed.

IMAM within iSCARB

IMAM is the optional Saudi and Islamic contextualization layer within iSCARB. It connects relevant context, values and purpose to the same evidence and technical-fidelity requirements. It is presented as part of this teaching program.

Open preprint · 25 September 2026 · Not yet peer reviewed. The implementation is available to inspect; learning effectiveness remains a research question.

INSTITUTIONAL SYSTEM · DIGITAL HEALTH

LEDD

PrototypeUpdated 2026

My role: IT Director at King Abdulaziz University Hospital and member of the LEDD project team.

Live Emergency Department Dashboard was designed to make emergency-department crowding visible to patients and staff. The project pitch documents CTAS-based triage categories, live case counts and estimated waiting times, with data pulled automatically from hospital systems and published in the waiting room and on the web.

Triage visibility: five CTAS categories, from resuscitation/major trauma to lower-acuity cases.
Real-time flow: live numbers in each category plus estimated waiting time.
Patient decision support: help patients understand ER procedure and make a more informed decision before arrival.
My role: IT Director, King Abdulaziz University Hospital, on the LEDD project team.
RIDI

RIDI

Open toolkitUpdated 2026

My role: research lead and audit-toolkit architecture.

RIDI is the research project behind the manuscript “Equal evaluation scores do not certify equivalent AI behaviour”, with an open toolkit (ridi-audit) for selection-change auditing and the exact identity–utility frontier. It asks how systems can retain aggregate performance while changing their actions, and how much change an explicit objective actually requires.

The manuscript is submission-ready and not yet peer reviewed. Source data and a reproducibility package are open on Zenodo (CC BY 4.0); code, demonstrations and research records are linked separately from publication claims.

How I build with partners

Not “innovation theater.” A translation path.

I prefer partnerships where the decision rights, evidence, product boundary and path to adoption are explicit from the beginning.

01 · DEFINE

Frame the consequential problem

What decision is being made, for whom, and what changes if the system is wrong?

02 · EVIDENCE

Make the knowledge testable

Identify data, assumptions, validation criteria and the evidence required for trust.

03 · SYSTEM

Build the operating layer

Translate the research into a workflow, product, API, model or institutional capability.

04 · SCALE

Design for adoption

Governance, partnership model, commercialization and implementation are part of the design.

Partnership fit

The best collaborations combine a meaningful problem, credible domain access and a partner prepared to move from concept to implementation.
