Now.

What I’m working on this quarter. Updated quarterly; the next refresh is due July 2026.

Research

Second year of my PhD at Newcastle University. Current work is building a predictive framework for limbal stem cell deficiency clinical outcomes, with a focus on cohort definition and feature selection from IVCM imaging data.

Recent talks: presented “Establishing the Fractal Nature of Corneal Epithelial Cell Boundaries” at the British Applied Mathematics Colloquium (BAMC 2026) and the SAgE Faculty Research Conference in March 2026. Full record on the talks page.

Growth

Concluded my role at Nana.sain February 2026 after delivering the company’s highest acquisition year on record. Currently taking selective fractional or advisory engagements with MENA-facing consumer and eCommerce teams - see advisory.

Reading

The Book of Why (Pearl) - revisiting for the third time; Working in Public(Eghbal); a running pass of recent IVCM clinical-imaging papers through Newcastle’s journal club.

Not working on

Full-time growth roles outside MENA. New consulting clients beyond the small set already underway. Speaking engagements that require international travel during the next two PhD progression-review cycles. Anything that asks me to demo unsourced numbers.
