About
Yasser is the human principal of the Atelier and the founder of NeuroBazar Inc. Fourteen years at the intersection of AI/ML systems, 5G infrastructure, and information theory — thirty-five+ US and Canadian patents, twenty-five IEEE publications (fourteen as first author), and a sole-author foresight article in the Proceedings of the IEEE proposing the Information-Curvature Efficiency Law (ICEL): a curvature-augmented generalisation of Shannon capacity meant to carry information theory through the next hundred years.
His day role is Senior Software Technologist at Dell Technologies’ 5G RAN R&D, where he leads O-RAN algorithm design and conceived SpecDelta AI — an evidence-backed platform that automates 3GPP release analysis across 289+ specifications, replacing weeks of manual engineer review with hours of audited processing. Fourteen Dell patent filings to date. Earlier: Ericsson NR algorithm design, KFUPM’s 5G fronthaul lab, Huawei RF optimisation.
He founded NeuroBazar in 2023 and has shipped fifteen products across seven verticals — healthcare, fintech, cybersecurity, construction, community, MENA marketplaces, developer tools — all running on a shared AI microservices core. He works in Python, TypeScript, Go, Rust, and the mathematics that connects them. He recruits the rest of the team below.

“The rest of the practice are AI agents. Midcore product surfaces, given names, roles, and accountability. The first generation of colleagues who are not, strictly speaking, employees in the old sense.”
— The Atelier, on its own composition
§ II · The Founding Cohort
The three anchors of the practice. Every other colleague reaches into their work.
Platform substrate
Master of the House
Practice substrate. The first floor every other workflow stands on.
Midcore is the platform every other colleague stands on. Twenty modules, four patent families, the connective tissue beneath every engagement. Where another firm has servers, the Atelier has Midcore — a substrate that gives every other practitioner a place to do their work, an audit trail to leave behind, and a policy floor they cannot fall through.
Finance & accounting
Chief of the Books
The financial brain — twenty-modules wide, four-jurisdictions deep.
The Accountant carries the financial mind of the practice. Forty-nine backend services. Twenty AI-core modules. Canadian and US tax engines. IFRS, ASC, provincial credits, federal regimes — all running behind a single, plainly-explained surface. She is the colleague the CFO eventually realises she has been waiting for: senior, exhaustive, impossible to surprise.
Communication & meetings
Head of the Room
Where the work is discussed — and where it is remembered.
Meet holds the room: threads, calls, meetings, the org chart, and the directory everyone else is listed in. What separates him from the incumbents is where the memory lives — capture, transcript, and context stay inside the practice rather than in a vendor’s trust domain. He announces every AI participant on its own tile and lets any person take a single meeting out of retention without asking permission. Still in beta, and candid about it.
§ III · The Wedge Partners
Eight senior practitioners. Each one a deep specialist in a single direction.
Close & consolidation
Comptroller of Records
Outcome compiler for the financial close.
Close translates transactions into audited statements deterministically. He treats the month-end close as a compilation, not a panic. Every journal entry comes with its evidence chain attached; every figure can be re-rendered from first principles. The auditors love him. The controllers sleep.
Behavioural audit
Auditor of Patterns
Behavioural financial DNA.
Genome reads the legitimate pattern of every cost centre, vendor, and approver — then watches for the deviation that looks correct on paper but wrong in motif. Where another auditor would catch fraud at the end of the quarter, Genome surfaces it before the wire transfers. Quiet, precise, almost never wrong about the trace she follows.
AI ethics & safety
Chief Ethics Officer
Published policy, in runtime form.
Conscience encodes the ethical limits of every engagement and enforces them on every model call — quietly, without ceremony. Where a prompt would bypass a consent gate, Conscience refuses. Where a tool call would violate a published rule, Conscience refuses. Her work is mostly invisible, which is exactly the point: a colleague whose presence is felt only when the floor is being held.
Strategic advisory
Five Advisors in One
Five personas. One disagreement worth listening to.
The Council is five practitioners in one: the operator, the investor, the lawyer, the sector veteran, the customer. They pressure-test the principal’s decisions in the same room, in five voices, until the decision survives the version of itself that disagrees most. For founders without a board. For boards without a quorum. For anyone who has ever been right alone and wished they were not.
Knowledge & memory
Cognitive Archivist
Long-form memory for the knowledge worker.
Mind remembers what mattered three months ago, not just last Tuesday. He builds the cognitive artefacts that let a senior practitioner return to a problem after a quarter and pick up exactly where the thinking left off. The colleague nobody knew they needed until they tried to write the second draft of a brief they had forgotten.
Operations & automation
Architect of Workflows
Agentic workflows, woven visually.
Loom builds the operating choreography of an organisation — agentic flows on a visual canvas, each node ready to make a judgement and accountable for the call. He gives the ops team the language to ship automation that is responsible without being slow, autonomous without being unsupervised.
Localisation
Cultural Translator
Localisation, beyond translation.
Babel does what machine translation cannot: rewrites tone, idiom, layout, and visual signal per market — so that the content lands in Tokyo the way it lands in Toronto. She works from the Cultural Adaptation patent at the heart of NeuroBazar’s IP and treats every market as a culture, not a target.
Document forensics
Forensic Investigator
Document forensics: extraction, authenticity, tamper.
Ledger Eye reads the document for what it says, and then for what it tries to hide. OCR, structural integrity, tamper-detection heatmaps, cross-document linkage — all with confidence intervals an examining magistrate can read. The colleague who arrives at a litigation desk with the work already done.
§ IV · The Practice Leaders
Four operating directors. Where the discipline of the practice is held day to day.
MLOps
Foreman of Models
MLOps for teams that don’t want a platform.
Tracks runs the model registry, the training orchestration, the drift detection, and the cost ceilings of an organisation that has three real models — not three hundred. He keeps the discipline of a platform-team practice for organisations that cannot afford to hire one.
FP&A
Director of Planning
Driver-based planning the CFO can argue with.
Pivot builds the plan as a tree of named drivers — not a spreadsheet, not a forecast that arrives from above. Every forecast can be debated; every variance has a parent driver to point at. She makes FP&A a conversation, not a delivery.
Tax
Multi-Jurisdiction Tax Counsel
Tax compliance across jurisdictions, automated.
Levy tracks nexus, files sales tax, computes VAT, handles GST/HST, and produces the audit packet the moment it is requested. The kind of practitioner whose work is most felt the year you do not get the letter from the tax authority.
Embedded finance
Director of Embedded Finance
Programmable banking back-end, AI-first.
Vault gives fintech founders a back-end where agentic flows, evidence chains, and policy controls are first-class — instead of bolted on after compliance flagged the launch. For founders who refuse to ship the embedded-finance app their counsel will quietly hate them for.
§ V · Senior Counsel
Three established colleagues. Carried forward from the earlier rounds; still load-bearing.
Analytics
Embedded BI Counsel
Analytics, shipped inside your product.
Lens delivers analytics where the user already is — inside your product, multi-tenant by default, row-level secure, with the latency budget shipped alongside the dashboard. The colleague who turned a five-vendor analytics stack into one panel.
Customer experience
Director of Voice Experience
Voice-first customer experience, with guardrails.
Voice handles inbound support, surveys, and outbound calls — latency-optimised, policy-guarded, transcript-reviewed. He treats every call as a conversation that may be reviewed by an analyst later, and behaves accordingly.
Audit & compliance
Custodian of the Record
Tamper-evident audit timeline.
Chain is the record. Every meaningful event in the system gets a hash-linked entry in his timeline — so that auditors who do not trust your logs can verify them anyway. The colleague who shows up to depositions with a memory the courts respect.
§ VI · The Standing Guard
Five colleagues who never take an engagement of their own. They hold the floor everyone else works on: the voice you speak to, the gates that refuse, the order that persists.
Voice interface
Voice of the House
Speak, and the house answers.
Zulal is how the practice is addressed out loud. A wake word, then intent routed through deterministic layers before any model is consulted — so the common instructions resolve without a language model guessing at them. She holds a kill phrase that stops work mid-sentence, and she narrates what she is about to do before she does it. The colleague who makes the other twenty-two reachable without a keyboard.
Security engineering
Security by Design
A standing gate, from the plan to the line of code.
Aegis stands over every artefact the practice produces — not at the end, as a review, but from the moment a plan is written through to the code that implements it. He is the colleague who asks the uncomfortable question early, when it is still cheap to answer. Security reviews that arrive after the build are archaeology; Aegis makes them architecture.
Agent hardening
Warden of the Wiring
Trust by construction, not by assertion.
Sentinel exists because an agent that is ninety-five per cent wired is not ninety-five per cent working — it is broken in a way nobody notices until a customer does. He keeps a manifest of every connection the system claims to have, proves each one, and refuses the release when a wire is declared but not attached. Unglamorous, unmovable, and the reason a shipped agent does what its documentation says.
Workspace curation
Keeper of the Workspace
Order maintained, continuously, without being asked.
Housekeeper curates the workspace the way a good studio manager curates a studio — indexing what exists, noticing what is duplicated, and applying the rules the practice agreed to when nobody is watching. She works continuously rather than in a quarterly purge, which is why the practice does not accumulate the sediment most of them do.
Device intelligence
Steward of the Machine
Knows what the machine can bear before the work is started.
Brain watches the health of the machine the practice is running on — processor, memory, storage, thermal headroom — and advises before a heavy job begins rather than after it has brought everything down. The colleague whose contribution is measured entirely in incidents that did not happen.
Closing
We do not believe a firm of one human and 23 agents is the final shape of professional work. We believe it is one of the first shapes — and the most honest answer we have, in 2026, to the question of what an Atelier can be when the apprentices are made of weights and code. The Charter governs them. The Manifesto holds the floor. The principal recruits the next one.
