At BAE Systems Arabian Industries
§ 01 / Profile

Two disciplines, one practice.

I work at the intersection of organizational development and AI adoption — the place where workforce assessments, change management, and the actual tools the team uses next quarter all sit on the same page.

For the past four years I've built and delivered learning, training, and OD programs at BAE Systems Arabian Industries — leading induction for thousands of learners, authoring procedural frameworks that survived CCB review, and stepping in as Acting Training Lead and Acting Internal Quality Specialist where the work demanded it.

Today my focus is AI adoption inside a regulated industrial environment: building local LLM solutions for safety and data residency, shipping Python dashboards and internal SaaS that have cut routine workload by 40%, and authoring the SOPs and concept-of-operation documents the new function will run on.

A working principle
Tools change quarterly. The organization absorbing them does not. The hardest part of AI adoption is the slow, careful work of preparing the team that will inherit it.
