a capital T - not "AlTajer" and not "Al Tajer". INFINITEWARE is all capitals.

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 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.
