Course Instructor - Ahmed El Koutbia

Founder and CEO of Innosoft Gulf, a leading AI and Big Data Education Center in Dubai. Most of the work that Ahmed does at Innosoft Gulf involves teaching, consulting and research in Deep Learning, Machine learning and Big Data. In the last couple of years,  he has trained hundreds of professionals in these areas.  To develop a local community of AI and Big Data professionals  in March 2017 he started one of the largest meet-up groups in Dubai: Innosoft Gulf – Big Data and Artificial Intelligence. At the moment, this active meet-up group has more than 4,000 members. After completing his Bachelor’s degree in Information and Decision Science at the University of Illinois at Chicago in 1996, he had the opportunity to work for some of the most prestigious organizations in the US including Sun Microsystems and Chicago Board of Options Exchange (CBOE).  At Sun, Ahmed worked closely with the Chief Architect of the Java Center in the architecture, design and development of a Java EE based workflow engine. This work was included in the best selling  book Java EE Patterns.  Currently, he is pursuing graduate studies in AI at Stanford University, where he worked recently on a self-driving project that uses Fully Convolutional Neural Networks for Automated Traffic Lane Detection.

Ahmed is an excellent instructor that has elevated my understanding of Python, AI, and Deep Learning. It has encouraged me to further my educational development in this subject which will help me in my profession. Innosoft Gulf is one of the few educational institutes in the GCC that follows current and future developments in IT and AI. I would strongly recommend this to anyone interested.

I have completed 2 courses with Innosoft: first the AI professional program and then the Deep Learning Program. I can honestly say that the support and teaching available here is exceptional:
I've attempted to learn similar skills in my own time in the past, and have always found it difficult to persist beyond the beginner level. The course at Innosoft is intensive - 3 hours a day, over 10 days. This immersive approach, in my view, is the absolute best way to learn these difficult skills. The instructor took me from an absolute beginner to being able to fully engage with the Data Science literature available now, both from a theoretical and a coding point of view.
