Sahir has been the bestest LinkedIn member I would have loved connecting with every time for literally anything. He can literally fix anything and everything, such an empathetic and kind individual that we as a Human Being deserve. Kind hearted and knowledgeable plus aware enough to learn from. I am grateful for being able to connect with him.

You know your way around data science and AI, no question. But what sticks with me is you’ve got this peaceful, “everything’s gonna be okay” kind of vibe. I felt like I could ask anything without feeling stupid. Big fan of your energy!

About me

Hey there, I’m Sahir! I’m a Lead Data Scientist and AI Engineer who enjoys helping businesses unlock the full value of their data. I lead the design and rollout of data / AI solutions, whether it’s for startups or a global Fortune 100 brands. I’m also thrilled to be South Africa’s first Kaggle Grandmaster and one of the Top 25 data scientists in the world. Over the years, I’ve had the chance to work with some amazing companies like BMW, Volkswagen, Audi, SAP, EY, Cisco, Intel, and IBM to solve complex problems in areas like forecasting, customer analytics, generative AI, and process optimization. Having been recognized as a Microsoft Super User, I hold certifications in the Top 1% on Credly, and work as a technical Subject Matter Expert for Coursera and SureSkills, shaping global programs on Microsoft Copilot, Power BI, and AI. Outside of work, I’ve hosted over 900 mentorship sessions, supporting everyone from early-career grads to senior executives around the world. I also play an active role in the Microsoft ecosystem: from hosting the first-ever Microsoft Power BI DataViz Community Contest, regularly supporting PL-300 certification learners as a moderator, and contributing technical content to the Microsoft Community blog. So, rest assured, you're in good company! If you're building something ambitious, trying to make sense of data, looking for career guidance or just want to chat about AI, or the future of work - let’s connect!
