Instructor
Hello and welcome everyone!
I’m Dr. Ryan Ahmed. I’m a professor, educator, and founder of Stemplicity School, where we make AI and data science simple, practical, and accessible for everyone. I’m passionate about creating learning experiences that are engaging, hands-on, and designed to help people thrive in a fast-changing world.
If you're just starting out in tech or aiming to sharpen your skills in AI, data science, or cloud computing, my goal is to make those complex topics feel approachable, relevant, and easy to apply. Over the past ten years, I’ve taught more than 400,000 learners across 160 countries and built a global community of over 250,000 subscribers on my YouTube channel, Prof. Ryan Ahmed, where I share tutorials and tools to help people grow their careers.
I’ve also led corporate training sessions on AI to companies like HSBC, RBC, Discover, and Barclays in US, Canada, and the UK. Earlier in my career, I held leadership roles at GM, Samsung, and Stellantis, working on electric and autonomous vehicle technologies.
I hold a MASc, PhD, and MBA from McMaster University. I’m also a licensed Professional Engineer and a Stanford-certified program manager with over 50 published research papers in AI and battery systems. But titles aside, what matters most to me is seeing others succeed.
If you're curious, motivated, and ready to learn, I’m here to help you take that next step.
