About Ahlam Khatibu

Hi, I’m Ahlam Yusuf, based in Muscat, Oman, and building intelligent systems that drive measurable impact. I’m a seasoned Machine Learning Engineer and Data Scientist with deep expertise in NLP, computer vision, and end-to-end ML workflows. I combine strong data engineering skills (Python, SQL, OpenShift) with hands-on experience in transformers, real-time inference, and full-stack deployment. What I do now (at Omantel)- Developed and optimized scalable data pipelines and warehouses, reducing latency by 20% and manual effort by 30%- Deployed applications on OpenShift, improving reliability by 40% enabling faster and more resilient data delivery. Notable ML projects- Integrated Darknet YOLO for 95% accurate real-time license plate recognition- Enhanced OCR capabilities using CRNN models to achieve 90%+ text recognition- Built robust NLP solutions for polysemy resolution (90%) and sentiment classification (85%)- Launched full-stack platforms like “CV AI Agent” (LangChain + Gemini + React + Flask) to bridge recruiters with AI tools in real time. Background & Education- MSc in Data Science from Harbour.Space University (Barcelona), with a full-ride scholarship- BSc in Computer Science from GUTech, Oman—also scholarship-awarded. Learned to code at 14 and launched a freelance web-dev career by 19 Beyond the code: I speak English, Arabic, and Swahili, mentoring, teaching, and helping aspiring data professionals land roles through hands-on guidance. I’m open to global relocation and excited to join teams pushing the boundaries of ML, NLP, or intelligent systems—whether on Earth or in orbit.
