What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an AI-focused role where I can build production LLM/RAG and ML systems end-to-end—data pipelines, model serving, and deployment—while leading research-to-product work and mentoring teams.

I’m an AI Software Engineer with ~three years of applied AI experience, focused on building production-grade LLM/RAG, machine-learning, computer-vision, and backend/distributed-data systems. I translate research ideas into reliable services—model evaluation, inference optimization, and deployment workflows that work in real products.

At Qardy, I built fintech AI capabilities for fraud detection, biometric verification, predictive credit scoring, financial-statement extraction, and workflow automation. I designed service layers and data pipelines connecting OCR/table extraction, KYC/AML data, anomaly flags, APIs, and reporting, and I led AI R&D and product prototyping for financial automation.

I’ve also delivered end-to-end applied AI in computer vision and generative AI—from virtual try-on with segmentation and low-latency APIs to cloud/edge inference and production-ready pipeline optimization. I enjoy mentoring and coaching, having trained students and teams on computer vision, generative AI, deployment packaging, and production readiness.

Beyond AI, I bring strong backend and ERP engineering fundamentals (e.g., Odoo) and a data-engineering mindset for ETL and analytics. My selected projects include an LLM/RAG problem-solving assistant with a curated RAG corpus and distributed ETL/inference integration, biometric verification with 99.9% validation accuracy, and financial statement analytics combining OCR, table extraction, and anomaly/KYC/AML checks.
