-
Build dynamic modular gateways across CBDC corridors (mBridge, Project Dunbar, and Aber), ensuring regulatory harmonization with GCC and ASEAN nodes.
-
Construct composable smart compliance models utilizing LLMs, zero-trust NLP audit layers, and real-time RegTech observability frameworks.
-
Introduce latency-agnostic liquidity routing mechanisms using AI-enhanced credit risk prediction integrated with AI agents embedded in SWIFT ISO 20022 messaging systems.
-
Serve as the technical envoy to the UAE Artificial Intelligence Office, contributing to the evolution of AI ethical governance for financial cognition at the state level.
-
