I’m Mohammad Hamid, a product and technology leader based in Detroit, Michigan. I’ve spent my career at the intersection of software, hardware, and industrial chemistry—launching more than a dozen products as a software engineer, founder, CTO, and consultant.
My Background
My Background
If you’re looking up Mohammad Hamid Detroit, you’re probably trying to understand what kind of work I actually do. The answer: I help organizations build products that connect data, real-world systems, and commercial outcomes in a way that holds up under real conditions—not just conference slides.
My background includes:
Building a SaaS market research and analytics platform in Detroit that used public and social data to measure brand health and stakeholder engagement for clients like Mazda, Koch Industries, Kellogg’s, DTE Energy, Southern Company, BASF, and Mylan.
Leading data, AI, and emerging tech initiatives for enterprises, including work connected to Ford-related ecosystems and other large industrial and automotive organizations.
Running consulting and analytics projects across media optimization, brokerage management, supply-chain optimization, and ETL-heavy analytics using tools like Tableau, Power BI, and Looker.
Early-career work as a software engineer in the Detroit area, focusing on BI, anomaly detection, personalization algorithms, and DevOps standardization on stacks like Jack Henry (Episys, Symitar) and LAMP.
Hands-on experience in chemical product development and tribology, working with lubricants, base stocks, additives, and industrial automation for machinery.
How I Think About Product
How I Think About Product
A few principles that guide my work as Mohammad Hamid Detroit:
Systems, not features
Systems, not features
The product isn’t just what shows up on a screen or a spec sheet. It’s the entire system: data flows, integrations, operational processes, support stories, and economics.
Constraints are design inputs
Constraints are design inputs
Regulatory requirements, legacy systems, plant conditions, and budget limits aren’t annoyances, they define the design space.
Explainability matters
Explainability matters
Executives should understand why the product makes sense. Engineers should understand how it works. Operators should understand what it will do to their day.
Education & Perspective
Education & Perspective
I studied Computer Science and Philosophy at the University of Michigan and completed executive education at Harvard Business School on strategy and shared value, studying how companies can create economic and societal value at the same time. That mix of technical grounding and systems-level thinking is what I bring into every product engagement.
