Summary
A distinguished alumnus of Cardiff University, I bring a rich academic foundation in Economics and Politics, complemented by a demonstrated passion for political discourse and international relations. As a fervent student of politics, I have the distinct honor of being the first Omani recipient of the Best Delegate Award at the premier nationwide conference in 2015—a testament to my diplomatic acumen and in-depth understanding of global economic and political dynamics.
My scholarly pursuits have seamlessly transitioned into practical, high-level engagement with the international community, as exemplified by my active participation as a delegate in the prestigious The Hague International Model United Nations (THIMUN) 2017 and the National High School Model United Nations (NHSMUN) in New York in 2018. These experiences have not only honed my negotiation and policy formulation skills but have also solidified my resolve to address complex global issues through strategic dialogue and policymaking.
With an analytical mindset and a proclivity for nuanced debate, I embody the convergence of academic rigor and real-world international political engagement, poised to make a significant impact in the sphere of global governance and policy advocacy.

Startup Founder
OmanPay
01.2022 - Current
An innovative fintech architect and a visionary leader, I am the founding CEO of OmanPay, the first e-wallet in Oman to introduce seamless integration of Omani debit card payments. Under my leadership, OmanPay has not only pioneered the digitization of payments in the region but has also been at the forefront of incorporating advanced Artificial Intelligence through Neural Machine Learning (NML).
My strategic foresight led to the development of a specialized AI designed to enhance the predictive mechanisms of banking operations, leveraging multivariate time series econometric data via the Monte Carlo method. This trailblazing approach, inspired by methodologies employed by global financial titans such as BlackRock and JPMorgan Chase, positions OmanPay as a regional first in data-driven, AI-powered financial services.
My ambition is fueled by a commitment to excellence and a relentless pursuit of innovation. At the helm of OmanPay, my vision is to drive the company and the region into a new era of financial technology and digital empowerment.
