Hossam Kurdi

Building his own LED design calculator outside work pushed Hossam Kurdi into unfamiliar territory. Although he is not a software developer by background, he created curveleddesign.com by learning about software development, user experience and AI tools, translating his AV knowledge into a practical web-based tool. He says he improved the platform iteratively through feedback, adding more advanced features over time.

At Cyviz, Kurdi’s responsibilities have expanded well beyond technical design and presales. His role now includes customer engagement, proposals, negotiations, opportunity development and commercial strategy across GCC markets. He says the challenge has been developing those commercial skills without losing the technical depth that remains central to his work.

Kurdi holds both AVIXA CTS-D and CTS-I certifications, reflecting experience across system design and implementation. He now works with customers, consultants, partners and sales teams on complex opportunities, helping shape solutions from initial technical concept through to commercial positioning while keeping customer requirements and profitability in view.

His view of AV’s future centres on deeper use of AI. Kurdi envisages systems that can understand natural-language instructions, assist with programming and configuration, and diagnose problems such as digital audio clocking or routing. He does not see this replacing engineers, but shifting their value towards architecture, user requirements and problem-solving while AI handles more repetitive technical work.
