// HELLO, I'M
Mega-project Engineer at Saudi Aramco
Engineering the Jafurah unconventional gas revolution. UCL-trained mechanical engineer, CPMAI & PMP-certified project leader, and energy transition advocate writing at the intersection of policy, technology, and global energy systems.
// About Me
I'm a Project Engineer working on Saudi Aramco's Jafurah Mega-project — the largest liquid-rich shale gas play in the Middle East. I manage $0.5B+ in purchase orders and lead 30+ engineers across 5 multi-disciplinary teams delivering one of the Kingdom's most strategically important energy programs.
I hold a First-Class Honours BEng in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in IoT from University College London, where I graduated in the top 5% on the Dean's List. My passion lies in bridging engineering execution with energy policy — I write about these intersections through my newsletter, Enoryx.
Beyond Aramco, I represent Saudi Arabia as a Future Energy Leader at the World Energy Council, an IRENA Youth Delegate, and a contributor to international energy forums.

Enoryx is my energy newsletter exploring the transition in Saudi Arabia, regionally, and worldwide. Subscribe on Substack →
A market analysis of the complex dependency between the energy sector and the rising power consumption of AI computing — from insights of Western nations to Saudi Arabia's giant leaps in data center investment and nuclear ambitions.
Read on LinkedIn →Fossil fuels have long been the target of blame when discussing environmental sustainability, often overshadowing the broader context of the energy trilemma — security, equity, and environmental sustainability. The Jafurah gas field leads the way.
Read on LinkedIn →What does it mean to use AI functionalities in the energy sector? What are the use cases for AI in the energy sector and are there implemented examples nowadays? Exploring management, forecasting, and Saudi Arabia's KACARE SIENNA initiative.
Read on LinkedIn →What is the purpose of critical materials assessment? The U.S. DoE's draft assessment prioritises R&D efforts to meet energy needs while reducing reliance on high-supply-risk materials — with key implications for Saudi Arabia's Future Minerals Forum.
Read on Substack →Energy and water are interdependent critical resources. During the global energy transition, the use of low-carbon technology does NOT necessarily mean lower and/or sustainable use of water.
Read on Substack →The interdependencies between water and energy are commanding increasing attention! The issues clearly show that the use and management of energy & water resources need to be addressed simultaneously.
Read on Substack →These two words might have been overused that they do NOT mean much, yet they are under emphasized and uncontextualized. In this post, we try to bring facts to light.
Read on Substack →There is a huge focus among energy companies and power producers on the energy supply side of the equation. Can we efficiently manage the demand though?
Read on Substack →The reality is that energy is a global commodity and has been exchanged between nations for a while. What about the shift in trend towards national security interests & independency-aimed policies?
Read on Substack →What are our energy sources? Is our energy market broken? Can energy be traded? What is an energy trader? In this post, we explore the answers!
Read on Substack →Hydrogen commands a great deal of policy attention, and with no doubt, will play a fundamental role in the global energy transition. So what is hydrogen?
Read on Substack →Today, global fossil fuel supply and demand is a topic of geopolitical concern. In the future, the attention may shift to the geopolitics of critical materials.
Read on Substack →At face value, these concepts might not seem to be relevant to the energy industry, but they represent the core elements of sustainable, reliable, and efficient energy systems & policies!
Read on Substack →The aim of the Energy Oryx (Enoryx) Saudi newsletter is to share weekly emails of up-to-date information about the energy industry & the transition in Saudi Arabia, regionally, and worldwide!
