Sajjad Heydari is a Co-Founder and CTO with 11+ years of professional experience and over 15 years programming, currently leading technical vision and ML-driven product development for clinical decision support at Aivida-medical from Winnipeg. He blends deep academic training as a PhD candidate in Computer Science with hands-on engineering—building data pipelines, NLP/NLU parsers, and production ML systems at companies like Acne Studios and his prior startup goSaya. Comfortable spanning architecture, applied research, and stakeholder-facing product shaping, he has a track record of shipping PAAS/SAAS dialog engines and open-source tooling that lower the barrier to chatbot creation. Equally at home with biostatistics for agricultural forecasting and clinical ML, he brings a pragmatic, data-first mindset to complex domain problems. Notably, his career marries long-term curiosity in computation theory with practical systems work from VMs and GAE to BigQuery and modern ML stacks.
