Amr Shadid

Section A–A: what people use above the line, what runs beneath it below.

Software engineer at NYU Abu Dhabi and Technical Lead at Sentinel. I build medical imaging platforms, research infrastructure, and open-source tools, from the interfaces people use down to the protocols and systems underneath.

I’m drawn to difficult problems where reliable software makes a meaningful difference, and open to high-impact work across imaging, software, systems, and space technology.

LAMINATE

Brain MRI analysis and longitudinal lesion assessment

Research and clinical teams need to process brain MRI, assess lesions, and compare scans across time points without stitching together separate tools.

Role. Develops LAMINATE end to end: frontend, backend, imaging integrations, and infrastructure.

  • Web and cross-platform desktop applications for medical image visualization
  • Longitudinal lesion review across time points
  • Dataset ingestion and analysis workflows with asynchronous processing
  • On-site DICOM gateways that connect hospital PACS to processing services, with local de-identification and return of results
  • Used across research, hospital pilots, and production
  • Runner-up, Innovation Award, Abu Dhabi Global Health Week 2025 (team award)
