Tammam Alhadwah
AI Engineer building and deploying deep learning systems across computer vision, natural language, and tabular ML — from training transformers and CNNs in PyTorch to TensorRT-optimised production inference.
Currently
Sole AI engineer, owning multiple production-facing ML projects end-to-end — from data and modelling through deployment.
- Proptech Automated valuation models for real-estate listings: price suggestions and comparable-sale analysis, plus NLP pipelines for compliance-document verification.
- LLM R&D Implementing a patented model architecture for a Lebanese research lab focused on underrepresented dialectal NLP; targeting efficient on-device deployment.
- Stack XGBoost / gradient boosting for tabular, transformers for NLP, and optimisation work for edge-device inference.
Selected Work

01
Wildfire & Agricultural Monitoring and Response Console
WAMRC · R&D computer vision for drone footage
AI-based monitoring system for early wildfire and agricultural threat detection. Built a tiny detection transformer with a MobileNet backbone and a hybrid custom transformer encoder, benchmarked against a fine-tuned YOLOv8-Nano on a 21K-image dataset of fire and smoke instances.
Tuned aggressively for recall, applied Exponentially Moving Average smoothing to stabilise per-frame predictions, and deployed with TensorRT on NVIDIA GPUs for real-time inference.

Automated Laser-Tag Turret with Object Tracking
Robotics + computer vision deployment
End-to-end automated turret that tracks and follows moving targets for laser-tag gameplay. YOLO11 detection runs against a phone-camera video feed with real-time multi-object tracking, exponential smoothing for movement, and a manual-override keyboard layer.
Motion handled by an Arduino motor-control system driving relay actuators, with TensorRT-optimised inference for responsive targeting.

Arabic Talking-Therapy Chatbot
Conversational AI · Arabic-first
Therapeutic conversational agent for multi-turn dialogue in Arabic. Rather than fine-tuning an existing model, the dialogue architecture was built from scratch — trained with PyTorch Lightning and tuned for empathetic, contextually aware responses in a therapeutic setting.

Furniture Classification from 3D Point Clouds
3D computer vision with PointNet
Classifier for LiDAR-like 3D point-cloud representations of furniture. Implemented the PointNet architecture in Keras to handle irregular point-cloud data directly, without voxelisation.

05
Cyberbullying Classification with DistilBERT
NLP classification · noisy-data cleanup
Cleaned a noisy and mislabeled dataset of ~1,690 social-media comments and messages, then fine-tuned DistilBERT from Hugging Face Transformers to classify cyberbullying and harassment.

About
Computer vision, deep learning, and the part of NLP where models actually have to run on real hardware — that's the intersection I keep coming back to. I like problems where the training curve is only half the story and the other half is making the thing fast, small, and honest about what it doesn't know.
Based in As-Suwayda, Syria, where I'm finishing a Bachelor's in IT & Communication Engineering with an AI specialisation at Arab International University. Currently the sole AI engineer at code-x.co, working on proptech ML and dialectal-NLP R&D.
Outside work: transformer architectures, long-context modelling, and keeping a small CNC machine built out of satellite-dish motors alive.
