About Kazem S.

Data Scientist & Project Lead with 10 years of hands-on experience in AI, machine learning, deep learning, and computer vision. I bridge a solid mathematical foundation with rapid domain mastery—delivering scalable, production-ready solutions in biomedical & hyperspectral imaging, cancer research, manufacturing QC, and IT. Fluent in Python (PyTorch, TensorFlow, OpenCV), modern MLOps, and edge/cloud deployments. Let’s build your next AI solution together.

Experience

  1. Data Scientist

    MetOx International

    Jul 2023 — Present · Houston, TX, US

    Project Lead – Real-Time AI-Powered Inline Vision QC SystemProject Lead for a real-time GigE Vision inline QC system that captures and analyzes over half a million images per week to measure tape-defect rates at µm/µm² precision before and after electropolish—driving vendor negotiations and ensuring customer-spec compliance. Designed and deployed four-camera hardware across dual EP lanes and an end-to-end Python/MQTT/MariaDB pipeline with Slack alerts, delivering a scalable solution at ~$4K per unit while matching the performance of $30K–$100K commercial systems. Complemented Zygo’s precision width/thickness metrology with inline visual defect quantification, uncovered tool-design flaws, tension-slippage failures, control/IT glitches, and operator errors, and closed the QA loop through microscope-image validation.Project Lead – 2D Thermal Control Model for MOCVD ReactorLed a cross-functional effort with R&D, IT, controls, and mechanical teams to design, simulate, and deploy a 2D heat-transfer model for precise temperature regulation in an MOCVD reactor. Instructed the integration of the model into the reactor’s control system to maintain tight temperature tolerances—critical for process stability and consistent tape quality. This collaboration delivered a robust, real-time control solution.
