About
A web, cloud, and machine learning specialist with a touch of magic
Hi! I’m Emaad, an experienced Cloud Solution Architect and Machine Learning and AI specialist with extensive experience in designing and building cloud-based solutions on major public cloud providers. I specialize in providing technical consulting services, leveraging artificial intelligence to drive business improvements, designing and building impactful websites, and facilitating seamless cloud infrastructure migration and development. My passion lies in leveraging technology to create innovative solutions and drive digital transformation.
With a background in astrophysics, mathematics, and economics, I bring a unique perspective to problem-solving and research. As a published astrophysics researcher, I have successfully applied machine learning techniques to advance the field of exoplanetary research, and I have also helped in building and launching near-space telescopes in collaboration with NASA. I have had the privilege of working together with diverse international teams, fostering effective communication, and managing projects to exceed team and client expectations.
