  • Designed and ran end-to-end AI implementations across multiple research domains: adapted a PMAM Transformer in PyTorch for historical speech annotation, contributed to large-scale image classification (German Insect Monitoring Scheme), and worked on 3D medical scan segmentation – covering the full cycle from requirement analysis and data preparation through model design, training, evaluation, and output delivery to domain-expert stakeholders.
  • Built LLM-based agentic workflows for multi-step contextual retrieval and processing of historical data: orchestrated task routing, retrieval augmentation, and generation stages – gaining practical depth in where LLM systems behave reliably, where they fail, and how to design robust pipelines around these constraints.
  • Developed a full-stack web platform in TypeScript and React with a REST API and Elasticsearch backend, integrating AI-driven retrieval into an interactive researcher-facing portal – demonstrating the ability to embed AI components into existing systems end-to-end, not just as standalone models.
  • Applied Claude Code and Cursor as primary engineering tools across all projects, with deep practical knowledge of AI-assisted development workflows, their reliability characteristics, and how to integrate them into structured engineering processes for consistent output quality.

  • Led the technical implementation of backend integration services for Etisalat UAE, working directly with client stakeholders to understand requirements, assess technical feasibility, design the solution architecture, and deliver reliable service integration – a direct parallel to the forward-deployed client engagement model.
  • Developed an internal GenAI support assistant (Comviva Hackathon 2022 Winner) using LangGraph-style multi-step orchestration and JIRA API integration: took the solution from prototype to working internal deployment, including training and onboarding the operations team to use the system effectively.
  • Engineered high-throughput backend services in Go and Java applying SOLID design principles, operated Kubernetes/Docker/Helm clusters for multi-instance distributed deployment, and implemented fault-tolerant failover with Redis/KeyDB – ensuring the scalability and reliability of production AI-integrated services.
  • Built CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI) and production observability infrastructure (Grafana, SigNoz) from scratch: systematic approach to verifying that deployed AI and backend systems behave as expected under production load, with structured incident analysis and resolution.
  • Collaborated in a fast-paced Agile/Kanban environment across product, DevOps, and QA – conducted peer code reviews, drove technical retrospectives, and delivered consistently against deadlines in complex, multi-stakeholder delivery contexts.
