Summary
Had Seddiqi is an AI engineering leader and founder with nine years of experience building frontier ML systems and scaling AI functions at startups from zero-to-one to unicorn. Based in San Francisco, he blends deep technical work—prototyping models from scientific papers, architecting complex backends, and producing reliable infra—with team and org building across product and research. Recent roles include founding ML work on physics and CAD generation for electronics and leading AI at a fast-growing tech unicorn, plus cofounding an AI mental-health startup. He has a research background in quantum ML and space-robot sensing from Oak Ridge and NASA, and a publication record that reflects applied research into algorithms and numerical solvers. Known for shipping practical, production-ready ML (including simulation agents and CAD-generative systems), he pairs experimental rigor with product-minded evaluation processes. Outside work he maintains an active GitHub and blog where he explores convolutional approaches and hands-on model engineering.
