Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFatih Nayebi is a founder, CEO and academic who combines 12+ years of hands-on engineering with deep research credentials (Ph.D. in Machine Learning & HCI) to build explainable, production-grade AI for retail and enterprise. As founder of OODARIS AI and former VP of Data & AI at ALDO Group, he has architected and deployed dozens of scalable data systems and 19 AI products that translate messy real‑world data into auditable business decisions. He teaches enterprise data science and MLOps at McGill, authored top-10 Amazon books on Agentic AI and Swift functional programming, and organized local developer communities like Swift Montreal. His work blends LLM reasoning, optimization and reinforcement learning into decision intelligence systems whose “why this” narratives prioritize trust and usability for merchandisers and planners. Equally comfortable shipping mobile apps and designing data fabrics, he holds a patent and speaks the languages of engineering, product and executive leadership. A less obvious strength: he systematically turns academic ideas (causal inference, agentic systems) into practical co‑pilot workflows that go live in weeks, not years.
