I am an AI/ML Solutions Architect and data scientist with 10+ years of combined industry and academic experience across machine learning, LLM/RAG systems, predictive modeling, financial analytics, insurance analytics, NLP, computer vision, and advanced statistical analysis. My background includes research experience at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, and Fermilab near Chicago, USA, where I applied machine learning to complex, high-volume scientific data. I have also co-authored 20+ research papers. In industry, I have worked across startups, enterprises, insurance, and GCC government/financial-sector environments. My recent work includes building LLM-based chatbot and decision-support systems on complex financial and insurance data, enabling business users to query structured data, analyze performance, understand risks, and generate decision-ready insights. I have worked with the Department of Finance – Abu Dhabi on system development and AI/ML use cases involving budget forecasting, expenditure tracking, anomaly detection, macroeconomic benchmarking, and chatbot-style decision support. In my current insurance role, I have built an internal AI chatbot over underwriting, pricing, claims, quotation, and financial performance data. Core expertise: ✔️ LLM/RAG chatbot development over structured and unstructured business data ✔️ AI agents and workflow automation for retrieval, analysis, summarization, and decision support ✔️ LangChain, LlamaIndex, embeddings, vector search, prompt design, and retrieval pipelines ✔️ Machine learning, predictive modeling, anomaly detection, and time series forecasting ✔️ Financial, insurance, government, and operational analytics ✔️ Model validation, data-quality checks, leakage detection, business-rule validation, and output testing ✔️ Dashboards and analytics apps using Python, Streamlit, Power BI, Tableau, and SQL ✔️ Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn, pandas, PySpark, SQL, AWS, and Azure ✔️ Advanced statistics, regression, classification, clustering, XGBoost, Random Forest, LSTM, and neural networks What differentiates me is the combination of scientific rigor, GCC financial-sector experience, and hands-on AI/LLM delivery. I do not only build models or chatbots — I validate the data, challenge assumptions, test outputs, and ensure the final solution is reliable, explainable, and useful for real business decisions. Feel free to reach out to discuss project scope, availability, and rates.

Most AI projects are impressive demos that collapse in production. I build the architectures that do not handle edge cases, eliminating hallucinations, and scaling reliably from day one. With 11 years of engineering experience, I specialize in the hard side of AI, rigorous model research, production grade system design, and full stack delivery. I do not just prompt models or wrap APIs. I build the data pipelines, memory structures, retrieval systems, and guardrails that make AI reliable enough for real business use. GENERATIVE AI & ADVANCED RAG Simple vector search is rarely enough. I engineer RAG systems that actually work in production: • Hybrid Search: combining semantic understanding with keyword precision for accurate, citation backed answers with near zero hallucinations • Semantic chunking and re ranking algorithms to ensure the model reads the right context before answering • Fine-tuning LLaMA 3, GPT, and Claude on proprietary data for domain-specific accuracy • Multi agent workflows using LangGraph and CrewAI agents that query SQL databases, browse the web, and trigger API workflows autonomously, with planning logic that keeps them on track • Production & cost optimization: caching layers and prompt compression strategies that reduce LLM API costs by 30 to 40% while improving speed • Tools: LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, OpenAI, Anthropic , Pinecone, Weaviate, ChromaDB, FAISS COMPUTER VISION & DEEP LEARNING For cases where off the shelf models fall short: • Custom CNNs and Vision Transformers for manufacturing defect detection, medical imaging, and document analysis • Real time object detection and tracking via YOLO, OpenCV, with WebSocket and Edge AI pipelines for live video streams and low latency market data • Model optimization: quantization, pruning, and performance tuning to run heavy models efficiently on edge devices or at cloud scale • Tools: PyTorch, TensorFlow, OpenCV, CUDA, Hugging Face Transformers, MediaPipe AI RESEARCH & MODEL EXPERIMENTATION When standard solutions don't give you the accuracy you need: • Rigorous model evaluation on real-world datasets with reproducible, well documented experiments • Performance benchmarking and ablation studies to identify what actually moves the needle • Turning research outcomes into clean, maintainable production code your team can scale confidently FULL STACK AI DELIVERY I bridge the gap where most AI engineers fail, connecting research grade backends to real user interfaces: • Frontend: Next.js (App Router), React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, D3.js instant load dashboards and data UIs • Backend: FastAPI, Django, Node.js robust Python APIs that handle data processing securely at scale • Real time systems: WebSockets and edge pipelines for live data without latency • DevOps: Docker, Kubernetes, AWS auto scaling infrastructure that survives traffic spikes CORE TECH STACK AI/ML: PyTorch · TensorFlow · Hugging Face · CUDA · Scikit learn · XGBoost GenAI: OpenAI · Anthropic Claude · LLaMA-3 · Mistral · Gemini Orchestration: LangChain · LangGraph · CrewAI · LlamaIndex Vector DBs: Pinecone · Weaviate · ChromaDB · FAISS Computer Vision: OpenCV · YOLO · MediaPipe · Albumentations Full Stack: Next.js · React · TypeScript · FastAPI · Django · Node.js DevOps: Docker · Kubernetes · AWS If you are tackling a hard problem that requires more than a plug and play solution, whether that is a production RAG system, a custom vision model, or a full AI powered SaaS, invite me to your job. Let's engineer something that actually works.
