Long
Ameen Altajer is the founder and CEO of INFINITEWARE, Bahrain's first artificial intelligence company, which he started in 2008 and which now builds and ships production AI systems for Saudi Aramco, stc, Zain, banks, regulators and the government of Bahrain.
Google named him a Developer Expert in machine learning, an invitation-only technical role he was nominated, interviewed and evaluated for, and he mentors in Google for Startups across MENA. He is also Bahrain's first and only appointed Cyber Security Forensics Arbitrator at the Ministry of Justice, where he arbitrates cybercrime and fraud cases across financial institutions, government bodies and retail, working directly with the Central Bank, the courts and ministry officials.
His background is unusually wide for an AI speaker: an ethical hacker and penetration tester, a hardware engineer down to silicon, and a veteran game programmer who wrote a 3D game engine from scratch and founded Bahrain Game Developers, the country's game development community, in 2012.
He is an official trainer at the Bahrain Institute of Banking and Finance, teaching artificial intelligence, ethical hacking and blockchain, and lectures on machine learning and big data at the University of Strathclyde in Scotland. He is a member of the International Institute of Communications in London, writes “Tech without Sugarcoating” for Al Bilad, and contributes research on technology and governance to the Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington.
He has spoken at Google, AWS Summit, BNP Paribas Digital Week and BIDEC, and delivers roughly 150 training days a year to banks, institutes and government bodies across the Gulf.

Same sitting, four crops. Thumbnails are shown at one ratio so the row lines up; each download is the full frame at the size listed. Use any of them for programmes, social or press. Please do not crop the face out of frame, recolor them, or drop him onto a different background.
What he can be booked to talk about.
Artificial intelligence, past the demo
Where AI earns its cost, where it quietly fails, and which decisions cannot be delegated to a vendor. Built from shipping AI into banks and national infrastructure, not from reading about it.
A room leaves with
Sovereign and on-premise AI
What it takes to run serious AI inside your own walls: confidentiality, local deployment, and the practical gap between a cloud pilot and a system a regulator will sign off.
A room leaves with
Security from the offensive side
An ethical hacker's view of cyber offense, penetration testing and defensive posture, from someone who has done all three and now arbitrates the cases when it goes wrong.
A room leaves with
Decentralization without the romance
Fifteen years inside banking technology makes for an unromantic view of blockchain: what it genuinely changes about the financial system, and what it does not.
A room leaves with
Reverse engineering and system architecture
Designing systems that hold up, and taking apart systems that do not. Reverse engineering as an underrated way to understand what software is really doing.
A room leaves with
Game engines and 3D simulation
From someone who wrote a 3D engine from scratch and founded Bahrain's game development community. The tooling behind simulation, training environments and games.

Rooms, not logos.
So nobody has to email about the cable.
On the day
- HDMI, with a USB-C adapter available. He presents from his own laptop.
- Confidence monitor or a visible timer.
- Lavalier or headset microphone. Handheld only if the room forces it, since he uses his hands.
- 16:9 projection. He will supply the deck in advance if the venue requires it.
- Ability to show live terminal or browser output. Sessions frequently run live rather than on slides.
Logistics
- Travel from Manama, Bahrain. GCC dates are usually same-day.
- Slides are written for the specific room, so the final deck lands close to the date.
- Recording and photography are fine. A copy of the recording is appreciated, not required.
- Sessions run in English or Arabic, decided at booking.
Send the date and the room.
Audience, format and what you want people to leave with. He will tell you quickly whether he is the right person for it.
