What People Say
"I am pleased to provide this reference for Ahmed, an outstanding AI Research Engineer with exceptional analytical skills and expertise in NLP, computer vision and deep learning. During our collaboration spanning over two years, Ahmed has consistently demonstrated the ability to solve complex problems and select the most suitable algorithms for a wide range of needs, from classification to language generation. In particular, he excels at designing efficient data pipelines and optimizing models to ensure high performance and accuracy. His deep understanding of data engineering and deep learning technologies has been key to developing scalable and reliable systems. In addition to his technical skills, he is a proactive and collaborative team member. He communicates complex concepts clearly and always approaches challenges with enthusiasm."
"I had the opportunity to work side by side with Ahmed for 6 months, under his supervision. Despite him working part-time while completing his master studies, he was able to lead the development of an E2E Computer Vision pipeline for car damage detection. He was actively involved from data cleaning and the choice of the algorithms to the definition of guidelines for an image annotation campaign. Ahmed is one of the most efficient people I have met. His deep technical knowledge about data science and passion for computer science give him the ability to quickly spot the missing piece in the puzzle, and hence organize and structure other's people work."
"Ahmed was involved in several projects that I led, during which he demonstrated skills and a positive attitude. We had the opportunity to brainstorm, discuss fruitfully and build SOTA Computer Vision models for several months. His knowledge of the field goes far beyond what is expected from a Data Science student, making him able to follow and contribute E2E, from designing to implementing AI/ML solutions."
"Under my supervision, Ahmed has proven both soft and hard skills far above his degree of seniority and experience. He is both suitable to work autonomously and in strict collaboration with other team members. His dedication to work allows him to reach goals and to meet project deadlines with extreme punctuality."
"Ahmed is a highly motivated, highly skilled engineer. He joined my team as a trainee for 6 months, quickly he studied the learning materials required. His research capabilities were well demonstrated; he digested well highly ranked papers literature and was able to present them clearly to the team. Moreover he is driven towards application and results, he built a prototype for a time series forecasting engine using advanced algorithms. On top of the that he likes the challenge and has a can do attitude and more important he is friendly and decent."
