AI engineer building production-ready LLM and RAG systems for reliable decision support.
YemenWhat I'm looking for
I am an Artificial Intelligence Engineer focused on designing and implementing production-oriented AI systems, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). I specialize in end-to-end pipelines that integrate data ingestion, embeddings, semantic retrieval, model evaluation, and API deployment.
As a freelance AI engineer, I built modular architectures for embedding generation, semantic search, and response synthesis, applied prompt engineering and retrieval optimization to reduce hallucinations, and performed retrieval-quality and qualitative evaluations to ensure correctness and transparency.
I hold a B.Sc. in Mechatronics Engineering and bring a pragmatic engineering mindset to projects, prioritizing maintainability, explainability, and operational constraints while delivering secure, production-ready AI solutions.
