Top SchoolBasant Mounir is a Senior Data Scientist with six years of experience building and deploying AI products for banks and public institutions, currently leading GenAI and automation efforts at the Central Bank of Egypt. He combines hands-on engineeringโStreamlit, Flask, LlamaIndex, Neo4jโand product instincts to ship production tools used across every bank PC, including a GenAI legal research assistant that outperformed premium chatbots. His background spans end-to-end ML work from macroeconomic nowcasting and early warning systems to customer-facing recommendation engines and fraud detection, with measurable business impact such as major drops in user dissatisfaction and significant value-at-stake. An experienced mentor and speaker, he teaches MIT Professional Education cohorts, has guided startups to YC, and routinely advises central banks internationally on GenAI strategy. Heโs comfortable shifting teams from R&D to deployment, and an under-the-radar strength is his ability to architect practical, auditable AI workflows and cloud deployment cookbooks that accelerate adoption across organizations.
