I design, evaluate, and productionize autonomous AI agents — from research and prototyping all the way to production and customers.
Currently a Senior AI Engineer @ DataCamp, optimizing one of edtech's top-rated AI tutors through evaluation science and A/B testing. Founder & CEO of Bareq, an agentic AI solutions agency. Founding R&D AI engineer @ Stakpak (Silicon Valley), building an open-source DevOps coding agent competing head-to-head with Claude Code and OpenCode.
- Agentic search, intelligent retrieval & context engineering
- Agent evaluation frameworks, benchmarking datasets & LLM-as-judge pipelines
- Autonomous coding & infrastructure agents (24/7 long-running systems)
- Multi-agent orchestration & dynamic memory systems

- Fine-tuning small LLMs (LoRA / QLoRA)
Optimizing DataCamp's AI-native course tutor, among the most efficient and top-rated AI tutors in edtech.
- Run sustained evaluation cycles — curating evaluation datasets that close blind spots, surfacing weak spots, and A/B testing across models and AI system designs to drive measurable quality gains.
- Shipped the platform guidance feature A→Z into production, full-stack from a Python/FastAPI backend to an Alpine.js + HTMX interface; added escalation detection and reporting for reactive AI behaviors.
- Built analytics & evaluation pipelines on GCP BigQuery to mine learner-interaction data, quantify tutor performance, and prioritize AI product improvements.
Founded and lead an agentic AI software agency delivering cybersecurity agents (SOC analysis), HR-department automation, R&D process automation, intelligent CRMs, and AI-native web apps — 5 clients closed, owning delivery from architecture to deployment.
Founding R&D AI Software Engineer — Stakpak (acquired by Vercel, 2026)(DevOps Coding Agent) Mar 2025 – Mar 2026
Full-cycle AI product engineer on the founding team of an open-source autonomous CLI agent, implemented in Rust and Python.
- Architected an end-to-end agentic search & retrieval system (Rust) with caching, semantic reranking, trusted-domain filtering, and iterative LLM-based refinement — +40% recall, +55% precision with guaranteed freshness (benchmarked Crawl4AI, Playwright, Context7 MCP).
- Pioneered Stakpak's first DevOps evaluation dataset on the Harbor framework (Terminal-Bench standard) — containerized tasks with Docker environments and automated verification.
- Built an automated agent-testing framework with full A/B cycles: dataset generation, LLM-as-judge pipelines (Langfuse observability), and sub-goal trajectory analysis over 1000+ coding sessions.
- Designed an auto-prompt-optimization framework (inspired by DSPy & Adalflow) and hallucination detection/recovery via concurrent supervisor threads.
- Fine-tuning experiments on Qwen 3B (Unsloth, LoRA/QLoRA); co-developed Autopilot, the 24/7 autonomous infrastructure agent mode.
- Reliable autonomous coding agents
- Evaluation science for LLM systems
- Context & tool design engineering
- Prompt optimization algorithms
- Agent observability & telemetry
- Infrastructure-aware AI systems
SOC AI Analyst Co-Pilot — @ Bareq Self-hosted agentic co-pilot embedded in the SOC platform, wired into the SIEM, incident DB, and threat-intel stack; every verdict grounded in live tool calls against the client's own data. Delivers triage verdicts with evidenced rationale in under 30s (~90% faster time-to-triage) via parallel investigation. Security-grade: fully self-hosted models, role-aware intelligence tiers (Tier 0 → Tier 2 with MITRE ATT&CK mapping), strict memory isolation, redacted audit trail, human-in-the-loop by design.
Sarmad — AI Islamic Library (sarmadlib.com) — @ Bareq, Lead Engineer A "NotebookLM for hadith & Islamic literature": customizable notebook mode, full-database hybrid search, and voice-enabled reading (React, Django, Supabase, Python). Built OCR & scraping pipelines for digitizing books; hybrid retrieval (Typesense BM25 + semantic embeddings + Gemini long-context); multi-agent system with fast agentic RAG, dynamic prompt selection, summarization, and podcast-script generation.
Seqoon (hiresai.ai) — Founding AI Engineer Shipped SAI Dubai, a bilingual (AR/EN) real-estate chatbot on a full RAG pipeline (Milvus, Pinecone, Neo4j) with multi-turn LangChain/LangGraph agents; prototyped SAI Sales Agent, an Egyptian-Arabic voice AI (Twilio, LiveKit, Whisper/XTTS/Sesame, low-latency inference via vLLM & Ollama).
