About

Here is background

Hi, I’m Dr. Waqas Khalid. I lead the Research and Development team at Payments Network Malaysia (PayNet), where I focus on AI and Quantum Computing, especially around figuring out how to make them work effectively while managing the risks that come with them. I have a PhD in Human-Computer Interaction (Computer Science) from The National University of Malaysia (UKM). I’m passionate about building scalable products and solving tough problems with data and AI. I’ve got about 11 years of experience in both technical and leadership roles, with a strong background in machine learning, data science, and creative problem-solving. In the past I have served as the CIO at TheLorry, lead the Innovation COE and Gen AI practice at Mobiz (Microsoft and ServiceNow Partners) and worked with Hong Leong Bank, UKM, and MyXLab as a technical lead.
