AI Product & Systems Architect who specializes in turning AI research into deployable, end-to-end solutions. I co-founded Polstar AI to explore AI adoption at scale, build deployable conversational agents, and translate complex AI concepts into accessible, product-focused narratives. I love shaping product roadmaps, guiding cross-functional teams, and delivering measurable outcomes through hands-on experimentation and customer-centric design. Currently based in Tunis, I’m focused on aligning business goals with responsible AI deployment, leading product operations, and mentoring teams on user journeys, onboarding flows, and performance evaluation. I’m passionate about collaborative design, safety constraints, and crafting compelling experiences that scale across organizations.
