I help teams design, build, and scale software products across consumer SaaS, enterprise SaaS, marketplaces, and data & information services. I’ve done this as a software engineer, founder, product leader, and CTO—not just as an advisor.
Subscription-based products and digital services with:
Onboarding flows and activation loops
Usage analytics and cohort analysis
Subscription management and billing (Stripe, Chargebee, Recurly)
Platforms with:
Multi-tenant architectures
Role-based access control and detailed audit trails
Workflow engines for approvals, case routing, queues, and SLAs
Compliance and reporting needs in financial services, energy, and healthcare
At my Detroit-based analytics and market research company, I built a SaaS platform on AWS (RDS, EC2, S3) with Ruby on Rails, Elasticsearch, and modern visualization libraries like Chart.js, focused on brand health and stakeholder engagement using public and social data.
Multi-sided platforms involving:
Catalog, pricing, and availability engines
Search, ranking, and recommendation logic
Dispute workflows, ratings, and risk indicators
Data products and analytics experiences, including:
ETL/ELT workflows from APIs, files, and legacy systems
Metric layer and semantic modeling
Embedded analytics in existing applications
At Gameplan Management in Detroit, Michigan, I led product work for media optimization, brokerage management, and supply-chain optimization using LAMP, Ruby on Rails, and .NET stacks, and I personally managed ETL workflows using Tableau, Power BI, and Looker.

LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) for earlier AdTech and media projects
Relational: PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server
Warehouses: Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift
NoSQL & caching: MongoDB, Redis, DynamoDB
Search: Elasticsearch (used heavily in my analytics platform)
REST, GraphQL, gRPC API design
API gateways and service meshes: Kong, NGINX, AWS API Gateway, Istio
Identity & auth: OAuth2, OIDC, SAML with Okta, Auth0, Azure AD
Messaging & streaming: Kafka, RabbitMQ, AWS Kinesis
AWS (EC2, ECS/EKS, Lambda, RDS, S3, CloudWatch)
Azure (App Service, Functions, Azure SQL, Event Hub)
GCP (GKE, Cloud Run, Pub/Sub, BigQuery)
CI/CD: GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps
Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform
ELK/EFK stacks, Prometheus, Grafana
Datadog, New Relic, Sentry
Frameworks: React, Next.js, Vue.js
Languages: TypeScript, modern JavaScript (ES6+)
Tooling: Vite, Webpack, Babel
Styling: Tailwind CSS, Material UI, Chakra UI, custom design systems
I focus on:
Performance and responsiveness
Accessibility and usability
Complex data visualizations that real humans can interpret
Automotive & Mobility
Media optimization tools, dealer and fleet dashboards, supply-chain analytics, and BMS/telematics-driven data products. Work connected to major OEM ecosystems and their partners.
Financial Services & Credit Unions
At a Michigan credit union, I worked on BI and anomaly detection for HELOCs and mortgages using Jack Henry (Episys, Symitar). Later, I built analytics tools used by financial institutions, utilities, and large brands for risk, marketing, and public perception.
Retail, Energy & Industrial
Insights platforms and dashboards for brands like Kellogg’s, DTE Energy, Southern Company, BASF and others, combining operational, media, and financial data.
If your product has multiple data sources, cranky legacy systems, and a board asking “how do we know it’s working,” that’s exactly the kind of work I’ve been doing as Mohammad Hamid Detroit.
I help bridge the gap between hardware, firmware, and the cloud—especially in battery systems, smart-home products, and musical instruments.
Focus on:
Low-voltage (12–48V) systems for mobility, marine, and industrial equipment
Higher-voltage packs for EV-style traction and heavy-duty applications
Cell chemistries such as LFP and NMC, tied to safety, thermal behavior, and lifecycle
Key concerns:
Cell monitoring and balancing (passive and active)
Functional safety thinking (FMEA, redundancy, fault detection and response)
Communication via CAN, LIN, J1939, UDS, and BLE/UART
Hardware-in-the-loop testing, firmware update strategies, and cloud telemetry schemas
The product mindset is: not just “does the pack work?” but “can we monitor it, service it, and treat the data as a real asset?”
Smart plugs, thermostats, environmental sensors, and security devices
Gateways and hubs connecting BLE, Zigbee, Z-Wave to Wi-Fi and cloud services
Technical focus:
Connectivity: BLE, Wi-Fi, MQTT, WebSockets
Secure provisioning, key management, and encrypted communication
OTA firmware updates with safe rollback
Mobile app integration and automation flows that non-engineers can actually use
I care about the device, the cloud, and the support ticket queue—all at the same time.
Being based in Detroit, Michigan, I’ve also worked around musical instruments and smart accessories:
Smart accessories for string instruments (sensors, tuners, health tracking)
Rental fleet instrumentation and analytics for teachers, students, and retailers
This work spans:
Sensing and signal chains (piezo pickups, IMUs, basic DSP)
Low-power firmware for quiet, high-sensitivity environments
Dashboards and tools for educators and admins
Yes, I care about latency and tone. In that order, but only barely.
At Talash SDC Tech, a contract lubricant manufacturing and tribology testing firm, I worked at the intersection of product development, analytics, and industrial operations, serving customers like Santolubes, BASF, and Lubriplate.
Biodegradable food-grade lubricants for food & beverage processing
Industrial hydraulic and gear oils for high-load, high-shear conditions
Synthetic lubricants for wide temperature ranges and low-temperature start-up
Technical focus:
Base oil selection (Group I–III, PAO, esters)
Additive systems: anti-wear, EP, antioxidants, anti-foam, demulsifiers
Performance metrics: viscosity index, pour point, wear protection, deposit control
Field trials, lab testing, and translating results into clear product and marketing stories
Designing base stock blends to hit volatility, VI, and low-temp targets
Aligning base stocks with downstream additive packages and applications
Additives: anti-wear, EP, corrosion inhibitors, PPDs, viscosity modifiers, detergents/dispersants
Structural epoxies, urethanes, and pressure-sensitive adhesives for industrial and automotive environments
Considerations around cure profile, bond strength, and exposure to heat, chemicals, and vibration
I also built QlikView analytics for pricing, marketing mix modeling, and sales forecasting—long before “product analytics” became fashionable.
In chemistry as in software, interfaces matter—especially when things are supposed to stay bonded at 120°C under shear.
