Salam..

My name is Omar, I am on my path to be a Data Science Researcher.

My role is to translate research goals into data deliverables. A process that begins with data collection and ends with decisions made.


I am interested mainly in utilizing these principles for applications in Arabic Language Processing.


Here, I present my story and a summary of what I am into..

B.S. Computer Science

I graduated from Carnegie Mellon School of Computer Science, class of 2018...

CS has opened the door for many paths .. and the quest journey of seeking a purpose that defines my role had begun...

M.S. Data Science

When I started my Data Science Master's at HBKU, I was very passionate about Islamic Knowledge and its potential research problems...

So, I built KASHAF: The Hadith Visual Search Engine as a prototype which provides Visual analysis of the Hadith Isnad tree (Narration routes)...

Data Journalism

Meanwhile, I try to investigate more problems and share my thoughts online...

Stories are the core of any journalism, I am not a filmmaker or a photographer, I look for data that tell stories about them.... this is my Journalism style!
