My expertise spans AI platform engineering and high-performance backend systems, building solutions using .NET, Python, microservices architecture, and modern cloud infrastructure. I specialize in LLM orchestration, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), multi-agent systems, and AI-driven automation platforms deployed on Azure, Kubernetes, and distributed cloud environments. I have extensive experience designing scalable microservices architectures, integrating enterprise data systems, and building intelligent automation frameworks used by large organizations. Core technologies: • Backend: .NET / ASP.NET Core, Python, FastAPI, Microservices • AI Platforms: LLM orchestration, RAG pipelines, multi-agent systems • Cloud: Microsoft Azure, Kubernetes, Docker, distributed systems • Data: SQL Server, Snowflake, Cosmos DB, PostgreSQL Interested in building AI infrastructure, intelligent platforms, and scalable distributed systems that power next-generation enterprise applications. 📧 Email: mehrahmad9033@gmail.com ## Work Experience ### Principal Software Engineer @ Selfic-AI Jan 2024 – Present | United States Architected and implemented a modular agent execution runtime that interprets user intent and dynamically compiles logic into executable Python agents, intelligently selecting between LLM-driven reasoning, classical ML models (e.g., XGBoost), or rule-based workflows based on context, cost-efficiency, and explainability requirements. Engineered a model-agnostic LLM abstraction layer with intelligent routing across OpenAI, Claude, Mistral, LLaMA, and local deployments, enabling function-calling, multi-turn tool orchestration, and per-tenant execution through configurable adapters. Designed and deployed a vector intelligence layer leveraging Qdrant, Pinecone, and Chroma, implementing schema-aware chunking, hybrid semantic + metadata retrieval, contextual filtering, and role-based access controls for high-fidelity grounding. Built production-grade RAG pipelines capable of ingesting structured and unstructured data sources (SQL, APIs, parquet, documents) and dynamically constructing retrieval contexts using similarity scoring, metadata filters, and temporal slicing strategies. Developed a secure multi-tenant AI deployment architecture supporting hybrid and on-prem environments, including token-based authentication, per-tenant vector isolation, dynamic environment provisioning, and compatibility with GPU-enabled local inference stacks. Created an agent synthesis framework that interprets user prompts to generate explainable logic trees, execution plans, and model recommendations — with full versioning, inspectability, and optional pre-execution editing. Led end-to-end system development, integrating .NET-based identity and orchestration APIs with Python AI runtimes (FastAPI, LangChain, custom orchestration layers), React-based agent builder interfaces, and containerized CI/CD deployment pipelines. ### Principal Software Engineer @ 10Pearls Jan 2023 – Jan 2025 | Pakistan - Spearheading the design of complex, enterprise-level solutions using Azure services like App Services, Functions, CosmosDB, SQL, Key Vault, and API Management to build resilient, highly available systems. - Leveraging the Azure ecosystem, including serverless computing, containerization, and microservices, to create scalable, flexible cloud-native applications. - Leading backend system design with .NET Core (6, 8), Entity Framework Core (EF Core), and Domain-Driven Design (DDD), ensuring maintainable, extensible, and high-performance applications. - Architecting seamless integrations using Azure Event Grid, Logic Apps, Service Bus, and API Management, streamlining workflows through automation and enhancing operational efficiency. - Implementing secure authentication and authorization using JWT and Azure AD/Entra ID to ensure data integrity and compliance with industry standards. - Designing and optimizing CI/CD pipelines with Azure DevOps, YAML Pipelines, and Git, enabling rapid delivery cycles and automated deployment across environments. - Conducting performance tuning and capacity planning to ensure high availability and scalability of systems. - Collaborating with clients to define requirements, translate them into technical solutions, and deliver architectures that align with business goals. - Leading and mentoring development teams by promoting best practices, conducting code reviews, and fostering a culture of continuous learning. - Establishing rigorous testing frameworks using XUnit to ensure reliable unit, integration, and end-to-end testing, maintaining software integrity. ### Principal Software Engineer @ Systems Limited Jan 2021 – Jan 2023 | United States Focusing over .Net , Microservices , Azure , AWS , Angular , MSSQL, MySql, PostGresql, ElasticSearch, MongoDB, Spark , devops , Agile and other technologies ### Senior Software Engineer @ Bahwan IT L.L.C Jan 2019 – Jan 2021 | Muscat Governorate, Oman I am working as senior software engineer in Bahwan IT.
