ABOUT RAEID SAQUR
I’m passionate about building AI-driven products that are both intelligent and commercially viable. As a Tech Lead at IBM and Ecobee, I delivered global, multi-million-dollar solutions—like Canada’s first mobile cheque deposit and Ecobee’s top-ranked Apple-integrated thermostat. I later founded Finatechal to bring institutional-grade ML tools to retail investors, honing the resilience and agility needed to launch a startup. As a PhD researcher and Fulbright Scholar at U of T and Princeton, I explored LLMs, adaptive RL, and causal representation to understand AI at its core. Specialties:• AI/ML Leadership: Leading research-to-product teams, AI strategy.• Machine Learning: Large Language Models (LLMs), Reinforcement Learning (RL), NLP, Transformers.• Product & Entrepreneurship: Founding, Product Management, Go-to-Market Strategy.• Business Acumen: MBA in Financial Engineering, Quantitative Finance.• Technology Stack: PyTorch, TensorFlow, Python, AWS, Full-Stack Development.
