Financial Planning in Dubai 

A UAE focussed website and blog I started in 2012 to talk about investments, Life Insurance and Financial Planning. 

Since then more than 10,000 residents have used my ideas to jump-start their journey towards financial freedom.

My first book 8 Steps to Financial Independence was published in 2016. While there are many self-help books on financial success, this book is unique because it is written with a UAE resident’s financial planning needs in mind.

This excellent book is the essence of my 15 years of experience in the Banking and Financial Services industries in helping people make wise decisions with money.

In a world where AI is moving faster than most people can keep up, clarity doesn’t come from more tools — it comes from the right conversations.

That’s exactly what our AI community meetups are built for.

Every session brings together professionals who are trying to understand where AI is heading, how to apply it in real work, and what truly matters amidst all the noise.

 When you sit in a room with people asking honest questions, sharing use cases, and challenging the hype, something important happens: confusion turns into direction.

These meetups create a learning environment that goes beyond presentations.

 You learn by discussing.
 You learn by listening.
 You learn by seeing how others are solving the same challenges you’re facing.

This is the future of AI education — community-driven, conversation-based, and rooted in real-world application.

If you're serious about staying relevant in AI, join spaces where clarity is created, not assumed — where people grow together through open dialogue and shared experience.

Looking forward to seeing many of you at the next meetup today

This Thursday, we’re bringing together the region’s 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 for an evening dedicated to 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐀𝐈 𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 and 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥-𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠. If you want to create systems that automate workflows, solve complex tasks, and deliver measurable impact, this is the room you want to be in.

Decoding Data Science (DDS) is proud to support this hackathon as the 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫 — because events like these strengthen the UAE’s builder ecosystem and open doors for talent across the region.

If this aligns with your interests, drop a comment — would love to hear what you’re building and what you’d like to see in future hackathons.

 And if you know developers or founders in the UAE who should be in this room, share this post so more people can take part.

The global AI landscape is shifting faster than ever — and this week made that clear.

From cloud giants racing to build cheaper, more powerful compute, to governments shaping national AI strategies, to media companies pushing back on data use, the industry is entering a new phase: the AI industrial revolution.

This week’s developments highlight exactly that:
• AWS unveiled next-gen Trainium3 servers and adopted Nvidia NVLink, delivering 4× more compute at lower energy cost.
 • Meta acquired the AI-wearables startup Limitless, signaling a push toward personal AI assistants built into everyday devices.
 • SoftBank moved to acquire DigitalBridge, deepening its stake in the global AI infrastructure boom.
 • The New York Times sued Perplexity over alleged content misuse, intensifying the debate around data licensing and AI training.
 • The UAE reaffirmed its national AI strategy, with a strong focus on healthcare, education and public-service innovation.
 • Guggenheim announced plans to expand into Saudi Arabia to invest in AI, infrastructure and technology.

Together, these stories show a world scaling AI at every layer — hardware, devices, capital, regulation and national strategy.

If you’d like to read the full breakdown, let me know.

The Week AI Got Bigger: Infrastructure, Wearables, and Regulation

AI is no longer a tool. It is becoming the architecture of the global economy.

This week’s headlines show how fast the shift is happening:

• Retailers are now optimizing content for AI chatbots, not search engines.
 • Music labels are licensing their catalogs to AI startups, defining a new model for generative training.
 • Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud launched a joint multicloud service, prioritizing resilience over rivalry.
 • Saudi aramco Ventures is investing hundreds of millions into European AI startups.
 • Kazakhstan and the UAE announced new AI, HPC, and GovTech collaborations.
 • The UAE’s “AI in the Ring” benchmark ranked Gemini first for cultural intelligence.

These trends, taken together, highlight a clear pattern: AI is spreading across every layer of business, infrastructure, and global strategy. The winners will be those who understand how these signals connect.

If your AI skills don’t survive a 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐥 change, they’re not skills.

Most AI resumes list 𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬. Very few show understanding of how 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬 behave in the wild. In our AI Residency, we teach the 𝐦𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐬 so tools become 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 and results become 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞.

𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥 behavior: 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 as interface design, 𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐬, 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠, and 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 loops
𝐄𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 that matters: 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 tests, 𝐑𝐀𝐆 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬, 𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 suites, and live 𝐀/𝐁𝐬
𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 discipline: 𝐀𝐏𝐈𝐬, 𝐨𝐛𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲, and “𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐨-𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭” iteration

#AIResidency #LLM #GenAI #decodingdatascience #dds

In 2026, the biggest career risk isn’t “AI will replace you.”

It’s that you’ll sound confident in meetings… while secretly not understanding the terms driving the decisions.

That’s why I created an Essential GenAI + AI Glossary for Professionals (2026 edition) — a practical reference you can use while building, leading, buying, or implementing AI.

This isn’t definitions for the sake of definitions.
 It’s clarity you can apply immediately.
Inside the glossary you’ll find:

Core GenAI concepts: LLMs, embeddings, tokens, RAG, fine-tuning, agents, tool/function calling

Newer industry terms showing up everywhere: MCP, A2A, multimodal, evals, guardrails, synthetic data, alignment

Critical business + delivery language: data privacy, governance, model risk, latency, cost, reliability, compliance
What you get from it:
Faster understanding in discussions with engineers, vendors, and leadership
Better decisions because you know what’s hype vs what’s real
A shared language for teams building AI products end-to-end

I’m sharing the full glossary inside the Decoding Data Science community, and we’re adding many more terms and examples as the ecosystem evolves.

If you want it, join the community and grab it there.

Comment with one AI term you keep hearing but still find unclear — I’ll reply with a simple explanation (and a real-world example).

𝐌𝐨𝐬𝐭 AI projects don’t fail because of the model—they fail from 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 and governance

Design your 𝐀𝐈 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤 with 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭, not guesses.

Here’s the 9-Layer AI Tools Matrix I use after shipping prototypes → MVPs → production:

𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐭: start 𝐧𝐨-𝐜𝐨𝐝𝐞, then 𝐥𝐨𝐰-𝐜𝐨𝐝𝐞 for secure internal workflows.
 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲: move to 𝐏𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐧 𝐔𝐈 (𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐥𝐢𝐭/𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐨).

 𝐀𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐫 𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐏𝐈𝐬: go 𝐀𝐏𝐈-𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 (𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐀𝐈/𝐁𝐞𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐤), add 𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 (𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐧/𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐡/𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐰𝐀𝐈).

 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝: add 𝐑𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐥 (𝐑𝐀𝐆) with 𝐏𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐞 / 𝐩𝐠𝐯𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫 / 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐚.
 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥: stand up a 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐧𝐝 (𝐅𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐀𝐏𝐈/𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬) with 𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 & 𝐨𝐛𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 (𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐒𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐡/𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐋𝐞𝐧𝐬).

 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐲: use 𝐀𝐈-𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐯 (𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐭/𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞/𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐫); never skip 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰𝐬, 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬.

𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐞: 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥, 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 & 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲, keep components 𝐬𝐰𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 to avoid 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤-𝐢𝐧.

I’m sharing the 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤, 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐱, 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐬, 𝐑𝐀𝐆 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬, 𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐬, 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐧𝐝 & 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬, 𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬.

In 2025, if your resume isn’t at least an 𝟖𝟓% 𝐬𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 to the Job Description, you aren’t at the bottom of the pile — you’re not in the pile at all.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲:
• 𝐀𝐈 𝐆𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬: ATS systems now rely on semantic matching, not keyword counting. If the JD says “Python for Distributed Systems” and your resume only signals general Python, you’re filtered out instantly.
 • 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐆𝐚𝐩: Manually rewriting your resume for every role is not realistic.
 • 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: You must become a “𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐭 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫” 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐫.

The goal is not to fabricate — it’s to translate your real experience into the exact language used by employers and their AI filters.

𝐔𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠:

 “𝐀𝐜𝐭 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐬𝐤𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐫 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐭 𝐚 𝐅𝐀𝐀𝐍𝐆 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐲. 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰 𝐦𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐉𝐃. 𝐈𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐲 𝟑 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜 𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐥𝐚𝐠𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡. 𝐁𝐞 𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬.”

𝐅𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐈 𝐎𝐮𝐭𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 — 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐀𝐈 𝐓𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐬.

Last week at 𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐂𝐚𝐦𝐩 𝐃𝐮𝐛𝐚𝐢, I had the opportunity to speak about a message I deeply believe in:

 𝐀𝐈 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐭 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 — not when we chase the next tool, model, or feature.

As 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬 for MeasureCamp Dubai, it was inspiring to see the region’s 𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬, 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐚, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 come together with one shared goal:

 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭.

During my session, we explored:
• 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐟𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 “𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐥?” 𝐭𝐨 “𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞?”
 • 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐀𝐈 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞
 • 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐬 of outcome-driven AI across industries in the UAE
 • The mindset shift from 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 to 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬

Grateful to the organizers for bringing such an exceptional community together, and proud to represent Decoding Data Science as a community partner for this edition of MeasureCamp.

Sharing a few moments from the talk and the 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦.
When we stay 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞-𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧, AI stops being hype and becomes a 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐫.

If you’re building LLM apps and still “wiring everything manually”… you’ll hit a wall.

That’s why LangChain matters.

LangChain isn’t just another AI library. It’s a practical framework for turning an LLM into a real application—with clean structure for tools, retrieval (RAG), memory, chains, agents, and evaluation.

Why it’s so important (especially for builders):

Open-source + flexible: works across use cases and architectures
LLM-agnostic: connect to any LLM (OpenAI, open-source, hosted, private)
Tool + workflow orchestration: prompts → actions (APIs, DBs, automations)
RAG-ready: integrates with vector databases to keep outputs grounded
Repeatable engineering: less “prompt luck,” more dependable systems

This is exactly why we use LangChain heavily in the AI Residency—because it can be connected with any LLM, tools, and vector databases, and the skills transfer to real-world projects.

I’m sharing the FULL LangChain document how to view/download it from the community for FREE in the comments.

Also—if you’ve used LangChain in your projects:

 What’s your experience been like? What worked well, and what was painful? Share in the comments.

Agentic AI 101: MCP, Tools, and Multi-Agent Systems

It is a practical session under AI Guild / AI Residency where we break down how modern AI agents work end-to-end. We’ll cover how agents use tools and function calling, why vector stores matter for reliable retrieval, what MCP enables for connecting models to external systems, and the core patterns behind multi-agent workflows (planner/executor, researcher/writer, critic loops). Expect an open, builder-focused discussion with clear examples and time for Q&A.

The future of technical careers isn’t about learning more tools

— it’s about learning to solve harder problems.

Today at 12 PM, I’m hosting a Career Talk on a theme that keeps coming up in AI, data, and engineering circles: the ladder is broken. The linear path we were all taught no longer reflects how careers grow in an AI-driven world.

To make this real, I’ll be using a story from our recent energy plant training:
A simple ML model worked perfectly in early tests… until real plant conditions changed. Drift appeared. Sensor behaviour shifted. Suddenly, accuracy collapsed.
That moment captures the new career reality. Static skills stop working in dynamic environments.

The future of technical careers isn’t about learning more tools

Most multi-agent demos fail for one reason: no evaluation layer.

If you’re building agentic AI, you’re not just shipping prompts—you’re shipping a system: tools, vector stores, memory, orchestration, and handoffs between agents. Without a clear way to test reliability, accuracy, and regressions, the “wow” disappears the moment users try real workflows.

In our next DDS session, we’ll break down:

Multi-Agentic Systems: roles (planner/executor/critic), coordination, tool use, memory patterns

MCP (Model Context Protocol): a clean way to standardize tool + data access across agent workflows

Evaluations: how to measure groundedness, consistency, tool-call correctness, and RAG quality using repeatable tests

If you’re building agents, this is the missing layer that turns experiments into production-ready systems.

Comment “AGENTS” and I’ll share the joining details.

Most multi-agent demos fail for one reason

Everyone is talking about AI Agents. Very few can explain how Agentic AI actually works end-to-end.

We’re hosting an open community discussion on Agentic AI: From LLM to Multi-Agent Systems—practical, builder-focused, and clear enough to apply immediately.

What we’ll cover (with real examples):
Tools + function calling: how agents take actions safely
Vector stores: why retrieval is the backbone of reliable agents
MCP (Model Context Protocol): connecting models to external systems cleanly

Multi-agent patterns: planner/executor, researcher/writer, critic loops, routing

Where agents fail: reliability, evaluation, observability, cost
To help more builders join this discussion:
