About · Hassan Ahmed

AI engineer & full-stack builder.
Shipping at CERN, building on the side.

I build LLM agents, RAG systems, and production ML end-to-end. At CERN I ship the workflow-management stack that keeps CMS physics production running, plus Archi, our open-source RAG copilot for computing operations. Outside of CERN I build smaller LLM projects — CloudCanvasAI, Gemini Alchemy, LLM DevMate — that let me experiment with agent tooling, sandboxing, and model-ergonomics ideas.
