AI Agent and RAG systems that reach production, not just demos. I have built LangGraph pipelines, multi-agent systems, and LLM apps deployed on real infrastructure for clients in insurance, recruitment, SaaS and e.t.c. In 2 years across Readfly and Physar Agency, I have shipped: • A hybrid RAG retrieval system using LangChain and OpenAI embeddings for a job-matching platform, cutting candidate search time by over 60% • Predictive ML models for insurance premium pricing using XGBoost and SHAP for explainability, deployed via FastAPI with full MLflow tracking • End-to-end data pipelines automating ingestion from Gmail and SharePoint into Supabase, used in production daily What I build for you: Agentic AI Systems: Multi-agent workflows built with LangGraph and LangChain, agents that plan, retrieve, decide, and act across your tools and APIs. RAG Pipelines: Production retrieval systems using Pinecone, ChromaDB, and semantic search, so your LLM answers from your data, not hallucinations. LLM Applications: Chat interfaces, document Q&A tools, SaaS AI features, built with FastAPI backends, clean APIs, and deployable from day one. ML and Explainable AI: XGBoost, LightGBM, and SHAP-powered models for pricing, classification, and forecasting, with explainability reports for stakeholders who need to understand the output, not just the score. MLOps and Deployment: MLflow experiment tracking, Docker containerisation, CI/CD pipelines, and A/B testing setup, so your model stays reliable after it ships. What makes me different: Most AI engineers hand over a notebook. I hand over a running system. • I design for production from the first line, scalable architecture, clean APIs, monitored deployments • I include drift detection and evaluation (RAGAS for RAG, A/B testing for models) so you know when your AI degrades • I work with MLflow and CI/CD so updates ship without breaking what works • I communicate in plain English, not model metrics your team cannot act on Tech stack: Agentic AI: LangGraph, LangChain, Multi-Agent Systems, Prompt Engineering Vector and Retrieval: Pinecone, ChromaDB, Semantic Search, RAGAS Evaluation ML and Explainability: XGBoost, LightGBM, SHAP, NLP Deployment and MLOps: FastAPI, Docker, MLflow, CI/CD, Drift Detection, A/B Testing Cloud and Data: Azure, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, SQL, Python If you are building an AI product, adding intelligence to an existing platform, or need a system that actually ships, send me a message. I will respond within 2 hours and tell you exactly how I would approach your project.

⚡ I build production-ready, AI-powered web applications — from model training to fully deployed web products. With 7+ years of hands-on experience across full-stack development and AI/ML engineering, I specialize in one thing most developers can't offer: the full picture. I don't just integrate an API and call it "AI" — I architect robust, scalable systems where the AI layer genuinely solves your business problem. If you need a freelancer who can handle the entire stack — AI/ML backend, REST APIs, and polished frontend — you've found your person. What I build for clients: ✅ ML model development, fine-tuning & deployment (PyTorch, TensorFlow and more) ✅ LLM API Integration. GPT, Claude, Gemini integration into existing SaaS, CRMs, ERP & Web apps ✅ RAG systems — "chat with your documents" (PDFs, databases, wikis) ✅ AI agents & autonomous workflow automation (LangChain, CrewAI, LangGraph ✅ Custom AI chatbots & LLM-powered apps (GPT, Claude, Gemini, Llama) ✅ Full stack web applications (React/Next.js + Python/FastAPI/Django) ✅ Data pipelines, annotation systems & MLOps infrastructure ✅ Cloud deployment AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, Digital and many more ⚙️ Tech Stack at a glance: → AI/ML: Python · PyTorch · TensorFlow · Scikit-learn · HuggingFace · OpenAI API · Anthropic API → LLM Frameworks: LangChain · LlamaIndex · LangGraph · CrewAI → Vector DBs: Pinecone · Weaviate · ChromaDB · FAISS → Backend: FastAPI · Django · Node.js · PostgreSQL · MongoDB → Frontend: React · Next.js · TypeScript · Tailwind CSS → Cloud/MLOps: AWS · GCP · Docker · GitHub Actions · SageMaker 💡 Why Clients Choose Me: Most ML engineers can't build a polished, deployable product. Most full-stack developers don't truly understand AI systems. I bridge both worlds — and I've done it for 7+ years. You get a developer who: → Understands your business problem first, code second → Delivers working systems, not just demos or prototypes → Communicates clearly throughout — no technical black boxes → Has seen enough projects to know what breaks in production I work with startups, SMBs, and enterprise teams across the US, UK, EU, and Middle East. Whether it's a greenfield AI product or adding intelligence to your existing platform, I bring the same rigorous engineering approach. I focus on outcomes that matter: systems that save you time, reduce costs, or generate revenue. 📩 Message me with your project details — let's build something great together. #FullStackDeveloper #MERNStack #AIDevelopment #OpenAI #AIChatbot #Automation #Microservices #AWS #ML Engineer

I build production AI systems that businesses run on every day: AI agents, RAG pipelines and LLM workflow automation for companies where a wrong answer costs real money. WHY CLIENTS PICK ME • Expert-Vetted, the badge Upwork awards its top 1% by interview, not by algorithm. 100% Job Success across 70+ projects and six years. • Production, not prototypes. Not proof-of-concepts. Every system ships with schema validation, evals and a regression suite, so it still works six months after launch and you can prove it. • Scale. I have processed 12 million documents through a single RAG pipeline and run agents live in front of real consumers. • I integrate with what you already have. Your CRM, your database, your APIs, your cloud. AWS certified (ML Specialty), equally at home on GCP. • You always know where the project is. A written update whenever something moves and a weekly Loom walkthrough. Clients tell me this is the part they remember. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THIS GOES WELL A process that eats your team's week runs on its own, and you get the evidence it did not get worse. On an AI underwriting platform used by 15+ insurers across the US, policy review went from days to 3 to 5 minutes at 99.55% precision on the rules that move money. A UK mortgage broker cut manual payslip review by 80%, because the automation only escalates the documents two models disagree on. A UK government-data client got 12 million planning documents extracted, embedded and searchable in under 48 hours at 65% below the GPT-4 baseline cost. Most of my engagements run long-term. The first project automates one workflow; the ones after that tend to automate the rest. WHAT I DO 1. AI agents and workflow automation. Multi-agent systems that take a manual process end to end and make real decisions along the way. Built in LangGraph and Claude with MCP, schema-validated, observable at every step, with a human in the right place by design. I built the assistant inside a UK consumer money app: seven specialised agents, 43 deterministic tools, every financial figure computed by code rather than the model, so it cannot make up a number. 2. RAG and LLM engineering. Retrieval pipelines, knowledge assistants and chatbots over your own data, and cost and accuracy work on LLM systems already in production. 700+ UK planning policy documents summarised weekly, fully automated, at 75% lower LLM cost through context caching and batch APIs. 3. The machine learning and data foundations underneath. Document and data extraction, classification, Python, SQL, pandas and scikit-learn. A private-equity deal-screening agent I built completes the firm's own investment scorecard end to end, backtested against realised fund returns. HOW I BUILD The simplest thing that works, then iterate with evidence. Strong prompting before fine-tuning. An API call before custom infrastructure. A benchmark before an architecture decision. Non-negotiable on every build: • Structured outputs with schema enforcement. If it does not validate, it does not pass • Dual-model verification on high-stakes data • Full observability with LangSmith or Langfuse. Nothing is a black box • A gold-standard eval set built early and regression-tested on every change WHAT CLIENTS SAY "His Loom updates were the highlight of my week! He's great at communicating complex AI concepts to non-technical people and keeps you in the loop every step of the way." Chris Barnes, Co-Founder, Gains App "Adam is an absolute powerhouse of an LLM Engineer. He has first class communication skills which make working with him an absolute pleasure." Sammie Ellard-King, Founder, Gains App "A great balance of personality, professionalism and a deep knowledge of the AI space. He's a strategic thinker who considers the bigger picture." Tom Story, PlannrAI STACK • Agents and orchestration: LangGraph, LangChain, Claude Code, MCP, LangSmith, Langfuse • Models: Claude, OpenAI, ChatGPT, Gemini, Llama, via Bedrock, Vertex and direct APIs • Backend and infrastructure: Python, FastAPI, Postgres with pgvector, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS (ML Specialty certified), GCP • Machine learning: PyTorch, scikit-learn, pandas, SQL • Reliability: Pydantic structured outputs, dual-LLM verification, evals and LLM-as-judge test suites TAKING ON NOW • AI agent and workflow automation builds, end to end • RAG pipelines and knowledge assistants over your own data • Cost and accuracy work on LLM systems already in production • Claude Code and AI engineering enablement for teams adopting AI Expert-Vetted · 100% Job Success · $400K+ earned · 5,750+ hours · 70+ projects
