Omar AL-Najjar
Data Science Student
Amman
Summary
Data Science student with hands-on experience in projects involving Python, Machine & Deep Learning, LLMs Fine-Tuning, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAGs), and Agentic AI, alongside academic research, which I'm very passionate about. I aim to deepen my expertise in LLMs research, particularly in the unexplored and ambiguous areas that are shaping the future of the field. I'm committed to expand my knowledge and education through theoretical and hands-on research in new and uncharted areas.
