5 years 9 months

AI Research & Productisation Lead (CTO) – SaMD, SaaS, Digital Health

Jul 2022 - Present

4 years 4 months

Hands-on AI R&D: Designing and fine-tuning medical AI/LLM models, building multimodal data pipelines (sensor, acoustic, wearable, clinical), annotating data, engineering advanced features, developing and deploying models for real-world use cases (e.g., cough detection, inhaler adherence, LLM for respiratory risk scoring and pattern inference from multimodal timeseries data). End-to-End Productisation: Driving the full product lifecycle for digital health and SaMD solutions, from concept to ethical approvals, data collection, annotation, model development and prototyping to validation, regulatory alignment (FDA 510(k)/HIPAA/PHIPA), and deployment. Clinical–Technical Bridge: Collaborating with clinicians, researchers, and engineers to translate medical requirements into AI-driven features and regulatory-grade software specifications. Cross-Functional Leadership: Directing engineering, clinical advisors, design, marketing, and operations to align product vision, user experience, and go-to-market strategies. Research & Innovation: Creating innovative solutions, filing patents in AI for healthcare, advancing novel methods in pattern recognition, acoustic signal processing, and applied ML for digital health. Creating FDA Packages for De Novo and 510K clearance. Market Impact: Overseeing multi-module AI-enabled SaMD/SaaS products in respiratory health, nutrition, and holistic care, scaling the flagship respiratory platform toward licensing and global adoption.

AI Research Scientist

Qatar Mobility Innovations Center (QMIC)

Apr 2020 - Jul 2022

2 years 4 months

Doha, Qatar

As AI Research Scientist, accomplished the design and deployment of multimodal, generative, and spatio-temporal AI models powering self-healing and self-organizing intelligence in next-generation 5G networks. Successfully delivered a $400K-funded project, ensuring innovation in model architectures, performance optimization, and full-cycle technical documentation. Generative AI Modelling: Engineered deep learning and GAN-based models for data sparsity and fault diagnosis in 5G, leveraging >500K synthetically generated data samples to train and validate large-scale AI frameworks. AI Framework Development: Co-developed an integrated AI-based SON (Self-Organising Network) framework addressing three core challenges: data sparsity, intelligent automation, and mobility dynamics. AI-Enabled MDT Coverage Reconstruction: Designed GAN-based and classical interpolation methods to enrich sparse MDT maps, enabling accurate fault diagnosis under limited measurements, resulted in filing a patent. Network Fault Diagnosis Innovation: Developed a CDR-based auto-diagnosis framework using clustering (K-means) and classification (SVM), achieving 97.6% accuracy, resulted in filing a patent. Research Impact: Published 7+ peer-reviewed IEEE papers and filed 2 provisional patents in data enrichment and fault diagnosis for 5G/6G networks.
