ABOUT HADI MAQBOOL

I design and develop applied ML and GenAI solutions that lands in production, changes decisions, and shows up in P&L. I specialise in end-to-end ownership, product discipline, and stakeholder-level communication, with a track record in high-velocity retail where margin, speed, and judgement decide outcomes.Key highlights- Delivered an estimated CAD 9M in annual impact by building an AI-driven procurement decision platform adopted across multiple retail brand teams- Led demand forecasting automation across 150+ product lines, replacing manual and intuition-led planning- Built an experimental NL-to-SQL assistant with 93% UAT accuracy, enabling faster executive self-serve analytics- Led a Generative AI fabric design initiative that reduced design creation time by 66% and received national-level recognition through an AI Innovators award.What sets me apart- End-to-end ownership: I frame the problem, build the solution, and stay accountable until adoption and impact are real- Workflow-first mindset: I design systems that fit how teams already work, not tools that sit unused- Strong business fluency: I work directly with senior stakeholders and translate vague asks into measurable outcomes- Enjoy mentoring, breaking down complex ideas, and building small prototypes to test ideas quickly- Value ownership, clarity, and continuous improvement over titles or hype- Modern applied stack: Python, SQL, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Generative AI, Time Series Forecasting, Demand Forecasting, XGBoost, LightGBM, CatBoost, Scikit-learn, PyTorch, NLP, LLMs, RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), Embeddings, Vector Databases, FAISS, Agentic Workflows, Tool Calling, Prompt Engineering, Azure, Azure ML, AWS, Databricks, Delta Lake, MLflow, Docker, Git, CI/CD, Power BI.Outside work- Football, I follow the game closely and play when I can- Philosophical and intellectual conversations, I enjoy debating ideas and first principles- Emotional intelligence, I focus on self-awareness, clear communication, and how people work best together.I hold Canadian permanent residency and am open to Senior Data Scientist roles in Canada.If you are building applied ML or GenAI systems that need to drive real business decisions, feel free to DM or reach out at h••••••••@gmail.com
