About

I'm Thamer Al-Gahtani β€” engineer, builder, and founder.

"Great products don't follow obvious paths." That belief has guided my journey.

From studying computer engineering at Prince Sattam University to training at KAUST, Ironhack Barcelona, and Draper University, I've built my career by taking unconventional routes. At Tatweer Holding Company and SCAI, I worked on Arabic RAG systems and dashboards β€” turning complex problems into products people could actually use.

Now I'm building Gracie: an AI platform designed to make compliance feel less like a checkbox and more like a superpower.

Highlights along the way:

  • πŸ₯‡ SDAIA Open Data Datathon
  • πŸ₯‡ Ithra Tanween Mega Challenge
  • πŸ₯ˆ Future Disruptor Challenge

I've never had the straight path, and I don't see that as a weakness. It's given me perspective, resilience, and a different way of looking at problems. That's what I carry forward and that's what makes me excited about what comes next.
