About

Connecting management and technology.

My work brings together experience at Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Education since 2017, an academic background in business administration and e-learning, and hands-on product design and development. I founded Shawahid and built its web platform and iOS app, turning teachers' needs into practical tools through user experience design and implementation.

As a Ph.D. candidate in Educational Administration and Supervision at King Khalid University, I research how agentic AI can advance administrative work. I also design learning experiences and have delivered more than 250 accredited training hours.
