Designing Safety-Aligned Agentic Systems.

I build agentic AI systems that know their own limits. My work focuses on the gap between autonomous capability and institutional accountability — designing architectures where AI agents can be stopped, audited, and corrected when they behave unexpectedly. I'm a 3rd-year IT student at the Islamic University of Madinah and have published 15 peer-reviewed papers on AI governance, adversarial robustness, and constrained multi-agent systems.

I study how to make autonomous AI systems fail safely: designing governance architectures that prevent unintended actions before they propagate through real-world infrastructure.

I study how to make autonomous AI systems fail safely: designing governance architectures that prevent unintended actions before they propagate through real-world infrastructure.

My work addresses the alignment problem in deployed agentic systems — exploring how we can build autonomous pipelines that remain safe and governable when exposed to adversarial inputs, distributional shift, or misaligned incentives. I approach this through the intersection of safety engineering, formal governance frameworks, and empirical failure-mode analysis.
