Umar J.
Senior AI Engineer | Agents, RAG, Automation | Python | AWS/GCP
I’m a Senior AI Engineer who also happens to be a strong Python backend + full-stack developer. These days I spend most of my time building agentic AI systems, LLM apps that can take a goal, break it into steps, call tools/APIs, and finish the job reliably. I build things that work in production, not just demos. That usually means: a clean backend (FastAPI/Django), a solid data layer (PostgreSQL/Redis + vector storage when needed), and the AI pieces on top (agents, RAG, evaluations, guardrails, logging). What I do a lot: Agentic AI: tool/function calling, multi-step workflows, multi-agent patterns, structured outputs RAG: ingestion pipelines, chunking/embeddings, retrieval tuning, reranking, grounded answers Python backend: FastAPI/Django, integrations, async jobs, scraping/automation when it helps Full-stack: React/Next.js for AI dashboards and user-facing apps Cloud/deployments: Docker, CI/CD, AWS and GCP exposure, shipping to real environments If you want someone who can lead the AI part and also build the backend around it (so you’re not juggling multiple freelancers), I’m a good fit. I’m easy to work with, I communicate clearly, and I care about shipping clean, maintainable systems Thank you
