Building RUSHD with Medad Team
I am Ahmed Ayman Soliman, the Team Leader of the Medad team behind RUSHD. RUSHD is an Operations Research desktop platform designed to help businesses, factories, analysts, researchers, students, and organizations solve optimization and decision-making models through a practical, user-friendly workflow.
RUSHD: From Operations Research to practical decision-support software
RUSHD was developed to make Operations Research models easier to use in real scenarios. Instead of relying only on manual calculations or scattered tools, the software provides a structured environment for building, solving, saving, and reviewing optimization problems.
As Team Leader of Medad, my role is to coordinate the product direction, technical development, user experience, and business requirements of RUSHD. The goal is to develop a reliable decision-support product that can serve real operational needs across business, industry, research, and education.
Team
Medad team is responsible for designing, developing, improving, and preparing RUSHD as a market-ready software product.
My Role
I lead the team, manage the technical roadmap, and work on connecting business analysis, software engineering, and AI-driven optimization.
Current Client
Our current client and development case is October University for Modern Sciences & Arts (MSA), one of the real-world environments helping us validate and improve RUSHD.
Current development and real-world validation
We are currently developing and adapting RUSHD for October University for Modern Sciences & Arts (MSA). This provides a valuable educational use case and helps us validate the product with real users while improving its broader capabilities for professional and organizational Operations Research workflows.
The MSA use case helps us improve the product in a practical direction: clearer input screens, better outputs, model access control, plans, device management, and smoother workflows. These improvements are designed to be useful beyond education, including operational teams, analysts, factories, businesses, and other organizations that rely on Operations Research.
Vision
The long-term vision is to make RUSHD more than a calculator for Operations Research problems. We want it to become a smart decision-support platform that combines optimization models, business process understanding, and AI assistance to support real operational decisions across industry, business, research, and education.
