Abubakar Akram
Senior AI Engineer
I build generative AI systems that hold up in production — multi-agent orchestration, agentic RAG, and the guardrails and evaluation discipline that keep them trustworthy.

- Architected a compliance-grade multi-agent platform for a regulated industry — four specialised agents under supervisor orchestration, human-in-the-loop approval gates on high-risk actions, and a cryptographically signed, tamper-evident evidence trail so every agent decision can be reconstructed in an audit.
- Shipped a multi-tenant agentic RAG platform letting business users query their own documents, tables and figures in natural language: hybrid retrieval on Azure AI Search, multi-index routing, and document-intelligence pipelines for layout, table and figure extraction. Every answer returns with its source citation.
- Rebuilt agent orchestration on Semantic Kernel and AutoGen with tool calling, guardrails and deterministic fallbacks — raising task success 30% and eliminating the runaway failure loops that had been burning tokens on unrecoverable runs.

About
Senior AI Engineer building production Generative AI for enterprise clients: multi-agent systems, agentic RAG, and document processing. 7+ years in software engineering, five of them remote with North American teams.
I start with discovery rather than code. Sit with the client, separate what they asked for from what they actually need, turn that into a design, then build and ship it — on several engagements that has meant delivering inside the client's own Azure tenant, against their data and their security review.
Recent work: a compliance platform for a regulated client, with four agents under supervisor orchestration, human approval on high-risk actions, and a signed append-only ledger an auditor can use to reconstruct every decision. Separately, a multi-tenant RAG platform serving citation-grounded answers over client documents.
