Engineer by training.
Builder by conviction.

I work at the intersection of artificial intelligence, energy systems, climate finance, and regulatory policy. My view is that these fields cannot be separated: deploying AI in critical infrastructure without governance frameworks is as dangerous as building energy systems without grid protection. I work across all of them.

I graduated First Class from Southampton Solent University with a BEng in Renewable Energy Engineering, completed executive programmes at Oxford's Said Business School, and hold an offer from Imperial College London for an MSc in Climate Change, Management and Finance.

On my own initiative, I designed and deployed EHB Agent, an enterprise AI governance platform now in daily production use inside a Moroccan public utility managing over 130 infrastructure projects worth more than 400M USD. I am the founder and director of EHB and Partners Ltd, a UK-registered company for IP commercialisation. I filed UK Patent GB2508159.7 for an AI and blockchain-based energy management system. I am a member of IEEE and the IET.

AI Regulation and Climate Policy

Working toward the regulatory frameworks that make safe AI deployment in critical infrastructure possible. If we deploy AI in power grids, water systems, and public utilities without governance standards, we create systemic risk. My work spans both the technical deployment and the policy architecture needed to govern it responsibly.

Perspective
The hardest problems do not fit inside a single discipline.

Artificial intelligence is being deployed inside power grids, water systems, hospitals, and public utilities right now. In most cases faster than the governance frameworks that should accompany it. I think this is one of the defining challenges of the next decade, and I think it sits at an intersection that very few people are positioned to work across.

My background spans renewable energy engineering, AI platform development, blockchain systems, climate finance, and regulatory policy. I have built and deployed AI inside live government infrastructure. I have filed a patent for an autonomous grid controller. I am studying climate finance at Imperial. And I am genuinely interested in how we regulate AI in critical systems, not as an abstract question, but as a practical one with real consequences for real communities.

The technical deployment and the policy architecture that governs it are not two separate careers. They are the same problem. I want to work on both.

Let's build
something lasting.

Open to conversations about AI governance for public infrastructure, AI regulation and policy frameworks, energy technology, climate finance, research collaboration, press and media, and partnership opportunities across Morocco, MENA, and beyond.
