Mouhamad Kawas, Entrepreneur and Information Technology Engineer Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Medicus AI GmbH - Vienna - Austria
Mouhamad Kawas, an entrepreneur and information technology engineer, has over 15 years of experience in full-stack development, building, teaching, and leading engineering teams, gaining his vast knowledge and expertise while taking on several hands-on roles for various entities. His current positions include Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Medicus AI Gmbh, CTO of CloudAppers UAE, and member of the University of Stirling UAE's advisory board.
His career began at the beginning of 2007 when Mouhamad took the initiative to build a web agency with a team of engineers and closed his first business deal. Roughly six years later, in 2013, he decided to start a new chapter of his career, joining forces with CloudAppers UAE as the CTO. In less than a year after working as the CTO for CloudAppers, a relatively new software house catering to small and medium-sized clients, he scaled the engineering team's size three times. His commitment and effort led to the expansion of the local business market and the opening of new markets. In addition, he regularly served as a leader for the team, helping develop and deliver hundreds of projects for high-profile clients.
Since then, the company has received positive recognition, earning various prizes from both national and regional entities. Some of these achievements include but are not limited to Best Smart Mobile App Departments of the RTA, Best Smart Mobile App for M-Government Services 2015 at the prestigious HH Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Smart MGovernment Awards, and Best Transportation M-Government App 2016 at the Prestigious World Government Summit Awards 2016.
With a genuine passion for making positive change and a commitment to excel in the information technology industry, Mouhamad decided to join Medicus AI, an Austrian health-tech startup, in 2016, taking on the leadership role of CTO. He'd spend the next several years bringing his extensive tech knowledge and skill set earned from hands-on opportunities to build a solid engineering team while starting the next exciting chapter of his career.
Mouhamad has since taken the crucial responsibility of leading Medicus AI's engineering team, consisting of over 100 developers, project managers, customer success managers, and quality assurance specialists. Medicus collaborates with more than 40 healthcare providers throughout 14 different markets and has over 35 million active users.
Mouhamad spent the past 15 years training thousands of information technology and computer service engineers during their career path development, using his passion for the industry to inspire and connect talented individuals with leading tech companies across the globe. His effort, determination, and willingness to learn new things have enabled him to make great strides and earn rights for four separate patents registered throughout the European Union in Artificial Intelligence technologies.
When he isn't hard at work, he takes his job of empowering the younger generation and encouraging them to make positive changes. Best known for dedicating his spare time to developing reliable, trustworthy tech-related content shared with adolescents on social media, he's providing some of the most educational information for the younger population to use when considering pursuing a career in information technology. In addition to the content he shares with his followers on social media, Mouhamad is the author of several tech-related articles available in Arabic and English. He looks forward to continuing to network with others to build connections and inspire everyone around him, from fresh graduates to seniors, experts, and even tech companies.
