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

I build agentic AI systems that run in production. Not demos. Flagship client: Princess Cruises (Carnival Corp, Fortune 500) — sole AI architect across 17+ deployed ship environments. Platform 1: Multi-agent BDI operations assistant. Custom orchestration written from scratch — no framework wrappers. LLM planning, guardrails, human-in-the-loop approvals, self-hosted Ollama at the ship edge. Fully air-gap compatible. Platform 2: Fleet-wide agentic assistant. Hybrid-retrieval RAG with 34,369 Confluence pages indexed into ChromaDB. MCP tooling invoking 40+ microservices in real time. 15+ years of Java and Spring Boot across 40+ microservices in enterprise production. 100+ P1 incidents resolved — I know what breaks at scale and why. Most AI engineers are Python-only and treat your existing backend as a black box. I architect AI directly into enterprise Java infrastructure — agent tooling, RAG pipelines, and LLM orchestration integrated into the systems you already run. $400K+ earned on Upwork. Top Rated. 12,755 hours logged. I also run TechyOwls, my own AI SaaS studio — because I prefer shipping over advising. SnapForge — screenshot and agentic data extraction API. LangGraph-based. Live with paying customers. Isolate — AI image processing platform. Background removal, upscaling, virtual try-on, local vision LLMs. LLM Bridge — WireGuard-tunneled inference between VPS and home GPU. Enterprise-grade inference without cloud lock-in. Stack: LangGraph, LangChain, MCP, ReAct, BDI multi-agent, ChromaDB, pgvector, self-hosted Ollama, Llama 3.x Vision, Claude, OpenAI. Java, Spring Boot, Python, FastAPI, TypeScript. Docker, Kubernetes, Ansible, Prometheus, Grafana. Oracle, PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka. WHAT YOU GET When you bring me in, you get someone who has already made the architecture decisions you're about to make — at Fortune 500 scale, under real compliance pressure, in production environments where failure costs money. I embed as technical lead alongside your existing team or execute independently — both at the same standard. System design, agent orchestration, RAG pipeline, security review, stakeholder communication. You focus on the product. I keep the AI from becoming a liability. WHERE I ADD THE MOST LEVERAGE Teams past the prototype stage that need production-grade AI — systems that survive security review, scale to real users, and run in regulated or air-gapped environments. Enterprise codebases where AI needs to integrate with existing Java/microservices infrastructure, not replace it. Currently accepting a limited number of long-term engagements. Fixed-scope architecture audits also available.

What does a GPRS specialist do?

A gprs specialist tests and optimizes General Packet Radio Service mobile data networks to maintain reliable connectivity and service quality. This role focuses on the technical behavior of packet-switched data sessions rather than voice traffic or basic signal strength. You analyze protocol interactions across network interfaces to identify bottlenecks that degrade user experience during data transmission. Your work ensures that mobile operators meet performance standards for speed and latency in live network environments.

  • Monitor Gb interface message flows between Base Station Subsystems and Serving GPRS Support Nodes to detect signaling errors. You decode protocol details from single-call and transaction traces to pinpoint the root cause of dropped sessions or slow data rates. This analysis requires a deep understanding of how network elements exchange control messages during active data transfers.
  • Execute functional testing of GPRS network elements using simulation and emulation tools during deployment phases. You validate interoperability and conformance by running offline and online monitoring modes to stress-test new configurations before they go live. These tests confirm that hardware and software updates do not introduce regressions in session management or quality of service parameters.
  • Compile detailed troubleshooting reports that link specific protocol anomalies to observed network performance issues. You submit optimization recommendations based on decoded session data and quality of service metrics collected during field trials. These deliverables guide engineering teams in adjusting network parameters to improve throughput and reduce packet loss for end users.

How to hire a GPRS specialist on Upwork

Define your network testing needs clearly to attract qualified candidates. Use the Job Post Generator powered by Uma™, Upwork's Mindful AI to draft a precise description in seconds. Describe your requirements in a few sentences, and Uma creates a tailored post for this role. You can write a new post, update a saved draft, or reuse an existing one.

  • Specify required experience with Gb interface troubleshooting and message flow analysis between BSS and SGSN elements.
  • List proficiency with protocol analyzers such as Tektronix K1297-G20 Series or GL Communications tools for offline and online monitoring.
  • Detail the scope of functional testing, including simulation, emulation, and conformance checks for GPRS network elements.

Step 2: Evaluate candidates

Review portfolios for evidence of successful network optimization and detailed trace analysis. Uma runs instant video interviews and builds shortlists with side-by-side comparisons to help you identify top performers quickly.

  • Look for documented case studies showing resolution of Quality of Service issues through single-call and transaction trace decoding.
  • Verify hands-on experience with drive-test systems and end-to-end data testing platforms like Keysight during field trials.
  • Check for specific deliverables such as monitoring reports that identify root causes of session drops or throughput degradation.

Step 3: Interview your top choices

Discuss technical approaches to network monitoring and problem-solving strategies. Schedule and conduct interviews within Upwork Messages, which generates an immediate transcript and summary after each session.

  • Ask how they analyze GPRS protocol details to isolate contributors to network performance bottlenecks.
  • Request examples of interoperability testing performed during recent deployment or operation and maintenance phases.
  • Evaluate their ability to interpret complex message flows and propose actionable optimization steps for mobile data networks.

Step 4: Agree on scope and begin work

Set clear milestones for testing cycles and analysis reports. Use Upwork Messages and the contract workroom for communication and project management, while identity verification, payment protection, hourly tracking, and project funds secure the engagement.

  • Define deliverables such as functional test results and service-quality testing outcomes for specific network elements.
  • Establish a schedule for offline and online monitoring activities during field trials or routine network operations.
  • Agree on the format for submitting troubleshooting findings tied to Gb interface anomalies and proposed fixes.
