Data and AI engineering, led by a physics-trained principal engineer.
Asif Hossain founded Obito Digital in 2023. It is a fractional AI and forward-deployed engineering team for companies and public programs, based in Tampa Bay, Florida, with clients across the US. Obito Digital is an OpenAI Select Partner.
Why Obito Digital exists
The companies we work with are already at scale or growing into it quickly, and they own plenty of software. What they lack is the layer that makes it work together and produces numbers people can defend. Usually that layer is a person with a spreadsheet who should be doing something else. We build that layer so it runs on its own and the owners can see what is happening in their business.

Signal from background
detector hits to one collision vertexAsif analyzed proton-proton collision data, where the job is separating a real signal from background noise. He still works that way: measure first, model what is really happening, then change it.

Design and communication
Thirty years of design work for businesses and nonprofits. On our projects, designs the dashboards, reports and documentation that staff read, so a system’s output is clear to the people acting on it, not just correct.
Four rules we keep on every engagement.
Close to the business

Running early
You see something running on your real data early, and it is in production within 90 days of the audit.
Traceable
Every number stays traceable to the record it came from.
We run it
We run and maintain the platform, and your team gets plain documentation for everything they use.
