Prof. Ryan Ahmed, PhD, MBA
I'm Dr. Ryan Ahmed, professor, engineer, and founder of Stemplicity, where we help people get past the hype and actually build things with AI, Agentic AI, Cloud, and Data Science.
Over the past 10 years, I've taught 1 million learners across 160 countries — 700,000+ enrolled in my Udemy courses, 260,000+ subscribers on the "Prof. Ryan Ahmed" YouTube channel, and 120,000+ on Coursera. I also run corporate AI training for teams at HSBC, RBC, Discover, and Barclays across the US, Canada, and the UK. I held leadership roles at GM, Samsung, and Stellantis in Canada and the U.S., 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 60+ published research papers in AI and battery systems.
But credentials are the least interesting part. Here's what I actually believe: "AI is the biggest opportunity of our lifetime", and most people are sitting it out because they think they need to code or have a PhD. You don't. If you're willing to show up and try, I'll help you get good at this.

Good with simple demo explanations. Could be explained with some other simple but real-world machine learning model, instead of a toy like temperature predictor model.

Great Content. Could use to update some of the videos. When following through in my current AWS console, there is no longer options in the Market Place to "try". You must subscribe to try the models. Be good to show a process to subscribe and then clear out the subscription for training purposes.

Nice Course for beginners and instructor is just awesome!!! He explained very well Thank you so much for courses
By Anerosa Wiid on 10/6/2023
Excellent quick overview of SageMaker for a beginner. A lot of the basics is covered in a short space of time. For more advanced use and a good understanding of machine learning you would need further training though.

AWSはカスタム性が高いために環境構築が煩雑で難しいものという認識であり、実際に一つのミスで料金も発生することから学生の身分では手を出しにくかった。この講座も無料で公開されていたから拝見させていただいたものでしたが、とても懇切丁寧に教えていただけるのでAWSに対する苦手意識が薄れていくのを肌で感じています。
By David R Bosley on 4/5/2023
Beginning of each lesson basically covers the entire last lesson, material was covered over and over without adding anything new. Only at the very end was there a practical demonstration, and then it was simply repeated in the next lesson for no reason I can think of.
