Ibraheem Alhashim is a Senior Principal AI Researcher based in Dammam with 14 years of experience translating advanced AI research into real-world products and smart-city solutions. He has led teams and initiatives across government, startups and national AI centers—building MVPs from large vision-language models and GPT-based chatbots to computer-vision systems for visual pollution detection and monocular depth estimation. As a former CTO and co-founder, he combines product-minded engineering with deep academic roots (PhD, SFU) and a postdoc background in depth and 3D reconstruction, which informs his practical work on projects like DenseDepth. Known for bridging research and deployment, he has steered national-scale AI efforts at SDAIA and advised public-sector Applied Research teams, while also shipping consumer-facing platforms such as Mawidy. Colleagues value his ability to move from novel model ideas to validated production tests and metrics—a skill reflected in his hands-on contributions to model evaluation and loss implementations.

High Quality Monocular Depth Estimation via Transfer Learning
Role in this project:
ML Engineer
Contributions:2 reviews, 74 commits, 16 PRs in 3 years 11 months
Contributions summary:Ibraheem added testing code and incorporated it into the existing codebase, specifically testing on the NYU Depth V2 dataset. They also modified the `layers.py`, `utils.py`, `test.py` and `loss.py` files to implement the necessary test setup and related functionalities, including the depth loss function, image loading, and result display. These modifications suggest a focus on model evaluation and validation within this monocular depth estimation project.
