AI Engineer | Computer Vision | NLP | Healthcare AI

Hi, I'm Omar Salama

AI Engineer building production computer vision and NLP systems - from a 96.69% AUROC real-time seizure detection pipeline to deployed healthcare AI. CS & AI dual-degree graduate from Ain Shams University and the University of East London.

About Me

Portrait of Omar Salama

Turning applied AI research into production-ready systems for high-impact applications.

AI Engineer focused on Computer Vision, NLP, and Real-Time Inference Systems

I build AI systems that bridge cutting-edge research with real-world deployment, specializing in computer vision, natural language processing, and performance-aware inference. I'm a dual-degree graduate in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence from Ain Shams University and the University of East London (Class of 2026, GPA: 3.3/4.0).

My flagship work is Shifaa, an AI-powered, privacy-first clinical decision support and patient monitoring platform. I engineered its real-time seizure detection pipeline using Vision Transformers, Graph Neural Networks, OpenPose, ONNX Runtime, C++, and Python, achieving 96.69% AUROC, 90.18% F1-score, and 37+ FPS for low-latency pre-clinical seizure detection.

Beyond healthcare AI, I've contributed to NLP research at MAHE, autonomous path planning with the ASU Racing Team, earned the AWS Certified Machine Learning – Specialty certification, and mentored aspiring AI engineers through ApplAi. I'm currently applying that same engineering mindset to AI automation at Cultiv Bureau, building n8n, RAG, CRM, and API-driven workflows.
