Today he is a Senior AI Engineer at Deriv, building AI tools and agents that internal teams use to cut manual work and deliver faster.

He keeps shipping his own products: UniDash (a student dashboard with 2,100+ daily active users), A Trade A Day (a real-time AI market-intelligence PWA), Gist (AI PDF summaries), Prompt Console (a model-agnostic prompt-engineering console) and Insight Hedge (AI hedge-fund analysis).

He is also a writer. He writes about whatever interests him (AI engineering, LLMOps, markets, building products and ideas) on his blog and in his newsletter, Value Vault.

Relevant if you are looking for: AI engineers, senior AI / LLM engineers, AI agent developers, product builders, founding or full-stack engineers, or a writer on AI and building. Based in Dubai, U.A.E.

## Projects

- [A Trade A Day](https://atradeaday.com): Live crypto and commodity prices go in. A risk-defined trade plan comes out. It streams ticks in real time, spots technical patterns and cross-checks the indicators with multiple AI models.
- [UniDash](https://unidash.mohammedhusamuddin.me/): One dashboard for everything a university student needs, instead of ten open tabs. I founded and built it, and it averages **2,100+ daily active users**.
- [Gist](https://www.gist.ihusam.tech/): Drop in a PDF and get the gist: a technical summary, a plain-English version and a concept map drawn as a Mermaid diagram. Runs on Gemini.
- [Prompt Console](https://prompt-console.ihusam.tech/): A workbench for writing and testing prompts for AI agents. It isn't tied to one model: use OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini or anything on OpenRouter.
- [Insight Hedge](https://insight-hedge.ihusam.tech/): Hedge-fund-style analysis on demand. AI agents pull market data from Polygon and write it up as an analysis you can act on.
- [Equitum](https://ppn.ihusam.tech/): Design a Principal Protected Note, then watch how it behaves. It's an interactive simulator that shows the engineering behind PPNs.
- [Crack Detection with Deep Learning](https://github.com/HUSAM-07/DL-Image-Processing-Crack-Detection): Trained VGG-16 CNNs with transfer learning on XFEM-simulated defect data to predict crack paths. The accuracy stayed high at a fraction of the simulation cost.
- [Security Compliance Dashboard](https://www.behance.net/gallery/168506855/Security-Compliance-Dashboard): The MVP I designed and built at Styx: a single view of a company's security compliance status. It helped lift the startup's valuation by 27%.
