Hi, I’m Abdelkareem Elkhateb, an AI Engineer passionate about advancing Arabic NLP, LLMs, and generative AI.

I focus on building innovative AI applications and contributing to open-source projects, particularly through my role as a maintainer in the NAMAA community, accelerating AI for Arabic and Islamic culture.
