The shortest path between a hard problem and a working solution.

I'm a Data & AI Consultant at Accenture in Riyadh, leading end-to-end delivery of complex data, AI, and Generative AI engagements for some of Saudi Arabia's most prominent government entities — including the Ministry of Tourism and the Ministry of Culture.

My work spans the full stack of modern data — from architecting Master Data Management platforms and engineering production-grade pipelines, to designing Agentic AI systems and Generative AI applications that automate critical business workflows.

I graduated as the top-ranked Computer Science student at Al-Jouf University with a 4.82/5 GPA and First-Class Honors, and now blend that technical foundation with the strategic instincts of a consultant — building solutions that don't just work, but move the business forward.

I move seamlessly between hands-on technical work and big-picture strategy — providing exactly what each situation requires.

Having worked with Faris over the last year, I have been impressed with his attention to detail, his passion for learning, and most importantly his courage venturing into unchartered waters with no fear. If you know Faris, you are well aware of his acumen in the data science realm, in addition to his desire to always expand and continuously improve. However, it's his hunger for growing not only in data, but as an overall professional has what really impressed me. Faris doesn't retreat from uncomfortable situations, he goes for it, and that's something that shows the true potential of someone.

Faris stands out as an exceptional AI analyst from my observations. His unwavering dedication to exploring unconventional solutions and integrating automation significantly streamlined our workflow. During our collaboration on a major logistics project, his relentless pursuit of innovative AI methodologies enabled us to test new outcomes efficiently — bypassing the need to start from scratch each time. Faris is not merely a proficient Python developer crafting intelligent pipelines; he is a dynamic problem solver and rapid learner capable of tackling any challenge. He exemplifies the future of AI leadership and I have no doubt he will excel in shaping the field for generations to come.

Senior to Faris · April 2024

Faris is an intelligent and well-spoken man with exceptional skills in all things Data Science. He is passionate about his work, and brings positivity and enthusiasm to any team he's a part of. He loves being challenged, and came up with some fantastic ideas during our work together. I found his biggest strength to be his humility. Even when he is the smartest person in the room, Faris will always reach out and ask everyone else what they think — and honestly that's really what differentiates good vs great. Faris is one of the Greats in the making.
