Full-Stack AI Engineer. LLM features, shipped end to end.

I’m Abanoub. For 7 years I’ve built production software. Today I build LLM pipelines in Python and the Node.js APIs, React frontends and cloud infrastructure that put them in front of real users.

LLM features that hold up in production

I build the Python services that turn scanned documents and open questions into structured, checked answers.

Document understanding

Vision-model OCR on scanned PDFs, then classification and field extraction into typed schemas.

{ "doc_type": "commercial_register", "issued_on": "2026-03-14", "source": "page 4, paragraph 2" }

Grounded answers

Every answer links to the page it came from, so a reviewer can check it in one click.

Evaluation

Output is compared with hand-labelled gold answers before each release.

Production plumbing

Async workers on Pub/Sub, idempotent jobs, structured logs and Docker deploys on Google Cloud. A person approves before anything is sent.
