5+ years of business management expertise, launched 3 startups, the first was a machine learning consulting boutique (profitable from the first month of operations), the team landed a big corporate after 3 months of work. I moved to London and participated in the biggest accelerator in the UK, Entrepreneur First ( ), and built my second venture around analyzing consumer behavior in retail stores to bridge the gap between online and physical retail with technology, I worked with luxury brands and started a POC with The Lane Crawford Joyce Group in Honk Kong and Prada in Milan. Due to Covid, it was wrong timing to continue pursuing a startup in offline retail tech. I started mentoring startups and helping first-time founders build B2B software startups in the retail tech and fintech space, being part of Antler Amsterdam ( ) & Paristech Entrepreneurs ( ) in Paris.

I'm an experienced tech startup founder and would be glad to help you launch your venture and test your market faster with minimum investment.

Fountech.ai

Data Consultant - As a freelancer

Cyprus

January 2018 - April 2018 (3 months)

Founding member @Fountech.AI From Fountech website: "Youssef's specialty is designing intelligent algorithms that can solve complex problems. His passion is understanding how the human brain works and attempting to mimic this using Artificial Intelligence, namely computational neuroscience. As a staunch believer in radical and lateral thinking, and 'out of the box' theorizing, Youssef regards taking risks with system design as the only way to make quantum leaps in advanced AI computing. He feels strongly that only by pushing the envelope of what's currently regarded as 'possible' can today's 'impossible' become achievable tomorrow. Youssef is keenly aware of the requirements of returns on investment. He is always mindful of maximizing revenue and minimizing overheads in a computational context. Having adapted deep learning within algorithms to analyze handwritten number recognition via Python, robot voice initiation development and facial recognition techniques, he is adept at allowing machines to interact with humans and learn from them. Youssef is proud to be a cog in a machine way bigger than himself, as one of his other passions is humanitarianism and social justice. He has been involved with startups to help find technical solutions to address the refugee crisis from Eastern Europe, as well as having been involved with an exchange program for humanitarian professionals. Youssef wants to use AI to build a better future for everyone on our planet, for the many, not for the few."

Exelia Technologies

AI/ML Application Research - As a freelancer

Cyprus

June 2017 - December 2017 (6 months)

Most clients we speak to are initially overwhelmed by the concept of artificial intelligence. They hear mention of machine learning, big data, deep learning, stochastic models, neural networks, semantic nets, Bayesian inference, graph theory, etc, and find themselves stuck in the paralysis of analysis, not knowing where to begin. We help demystify AI for our clients and show them how AI can be applied to their businesses, to improve the user experience within their applications or to improve businesses processes. We dispel the notion that AI development needs to cost millions or take years (some do, of course). There are solutions that can be applied within months, without breaking the bank. Projects I worked on:

Email Analysis to personality profiling

- writing algorithms and highlighting the math that lies behind
- applied machine learning math research
- diagrams about the process and the strategy

Sports performance enhancement by data analysis

- real-time predictions based on collecting data from athletes, adjusting parameters from the outside world and features engineering.
- writing development proposals for tech companies on how to implement AI into their current running systems.
