Senior🎓
Top SchoolWajih Baig is a Principal Data Scientist Manager based in Abu Dhabi with two decades of experience architecting large-scale AI/ML systems and nine years in senior industry roles driving production impact. He has led end-to-end ML initiatives—from feature engineering and scalable Databricks pipelines to on-prem DGX training and MLOps—delivering dramatic automation gains (e.g., reducing manual analysis from months to minutes and LLM analysis from hours to minutes). His work spans real-time feedback mining, semantic embeddings, hybrid search, forecasting ensembles, computer vision, and biometric HPC systems, with practical deployments using local LLMs for privacy-compliant reporting. Wajih pairs hands-on engineering (PyTorch, LightGBM, Spark, Docker, AWS/Azure) with strategic team leadership, having built and mentored interdisciplinary AI teams and moved numerous PoCs into production. A pragmatic innovator, he often blends traditional ML with generative AI and on-prem solutions to meet strict privacy and performance constraints.
