Ahmad Faour β€” AI Researcher, Senior AI Engineer, and LLM Systems Architect

I design, evaluate, and deploy AI systems that move from research hypotheses
to reliable, secure, observable, and cost-aware production software.

Professional Profile

I am an AI Researcher and Senior AI Engineer working at the intersection of scientific experimentation and production software engineering. My focus is building AI systems that are grounded in evidence, measurable under realistic evaluation, and maintainable after deployment.

My work spans LLM platforms, retrieval-augmented generation, agentic workflows, Arabic and multilingual AI, computer vision, OCR, speech systems, model optimization, secure backend services, and cloud delivery.

Research Engineering
Paper-to-code, reproducible experiments, benchmarking, ablations, claim verification, and evaluation design.
LLM Systems
RAG, GraphRAG, agents, tool use, structured outputs, reranking, guardrails, and human review.
Production AI
Secure APIs, inference services, observability, CI/CD, latency and cost optimization, and cloud deployment.
Arabic-First AI
Arabic NLP, dialect modeling, speech, OCR, RTL-aware interfaces, and multilingual assistants.

Engineering principles

  • Start from the problem, data, and measurable success criteriaβ€”not from a fashionable model.
  • Separate prototypes from production systems through explicit reliability, security, latency, and cost requirements.
  • Evaluate retrieval quality, hallucinations, edge cases, and failure modes before optimizing headline metrics.
  • Use human review when uncertainty, operational risk, or domain impact is high.
  • Build observable systems with reproducible experiments, versioned artifacts, and clear rollback paths.

Selected Outcomes

Project-level outcomes reported from the systems described below.

Outcome System
60–80% of customer inquiries automated NexusAI customer experience platform
12% F1 improvement over a Whisper-only baseline Arabic dialect-aware voice assistant
59% smaller model and 2.3Γ— faster CPU inference Arabic handwriting recognition
Approximately 92% character-level accuracy on 50,000 samples Handwritten prescription recognition
35% reduction in prescription interpretation errors OCR and verification pipeline
