Sameer has 10+ years of experience in software and product development. Previously, he co-founded a fast-growing marketing software company where he architected and built enterprise applications, backend services, and set up data pipelines for big data ingestion to deliver meaningful insights from disparate data systems.

Currently, Sameer is the founder and CEO of Biostrap, a health wearable platform offering the world's most advanced science-based technology to improve global health. Facilitating data collection through a clinically validated wrist-worn device, Biostrap utilizes machine learning and artificial intelligence to provide comprehensive individualized and population-level insights into one's physiology and overall health, help users to manage stress, monitor sleep, activity, meditation, brain health and heart health.

After a transformative weight-loss journey, Sameer's become obsessed with health and how one can take better control of their well-being. Having been in the software engineering industry for ten years, he's realized that his passion for wearables and health could be interlinked and that he could create something that's convenient, actionable, provides clinical data, and is more meaningful to the consumer than other wearable technology. While he was burning the midnight oil on the side of his day job, Sameer became more confident that Biostrap had potential in the market. It was when his first daughter was born, so it gave him that final push that he wanted to create something for the future. Biostrap launched in June 2016 and now has users across the world and has been involved in various studies in the clinical space, whether it's identifying early signs of respiratory illness or the efficacy of multiple interventions on sleep, recovery, and overall well-being.
