Iqbal Azeem

I am a Senior Software Engineer with 13 years of full-stack experience, specializing over the last 18 months in architecting and shipping production-grade LLM, RAG, and agentic AI systems. As the founder of a custom AI consulting practice, I don't build simple wrappers—I build resilient, centralized platforms and data pipelines designed for large-scale operations.

I thrive at the intersection of complex AI infrastructure and robust backend engineering, prioritizing strict data grounding and reliable reasoning loops to eliminate hallucinations.

Key Achievements & Capabilities:

• Shipped 12+ Production AI Products: Delivered diverse AI systems spanning agentic mentor platforms (EMG.AI), autonomous lab automation backends (Whelix), and enterprise voice AI receptionists.

• High-Performance RAG Infrastructure: Built production RAG platforms using ChromaDB, pgvector, and Redis, optimizing performance to deliver sub-5-second response times with 85%+ retrieval accuracy.

• Advanced Model Implementation: Experienced in deploying and fine-tuning computer vision models (90% floor plan detection accuracy via SAM2) as well as orchestrating ensembles of LSTMs, Transformers, and HMMs.

• Technical Leadership & Architecture: Fully capable of owning the entire lifecycle—from system architecture and deep-tech coding to CI/CD deployment, team mentoring, and client strategy.

Core Tech Stack:

• AI/ML: OpenAI API, Claude, LLaMA, Gemini, LangChain, Vector DBs (ChromaDB, pgvector).

• Backend & DBs: Python 3.13, FastAPI, Django, Async SQLAlchemy 2.0, PostgreSQL, Redis, Node.js.

• Frontend & Cloud: Next.js 15 (App Router), React 19, Vue 3, TypeScript, AWS, GCP, Vercel.

I am looking for fully remote Senior IC or Tech Lead AI roles where I can help an ambitious team engineer scalable, high-impact AI infrastructure.
