Available to hire
I’m Ahmad Faour, a senior-leaning AI engineer based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with around four years of experience across AI/ML engineering and software development (freelance, internships, and full-time). I have a proven track record delivering LLM-powered systems, autonomous AI agents, and production-grade services end-to-end — spanning data preparation, training/fine-tuning (PEFT/LoRA, RLHF), model optimization/quantization, ONNX conversion, and cloud deployment (AWS, GCP, IIS). I bridge Python ML stacks with .NET/Core back ends and React front ends, shipping secure, scalable APIs and CI/CD pipelines.
I’m experienced with agentic patterns (tool use, planning/execution, vector memory), hands-on with n8n and Elsa Workflows for orchestration and human-in-the-loop. I collaborate effectively in cross-functional teams and am outcome-focused, ready to drive impact in global AI teams.

AI Engineer at Freelancer.com
December 1, 2024 - September 29, 2025Delivered client NLP solutions (classification, summarization, sentiment) using Transformers; built Arabic handwriting recognition to ~85% accuracy. Applied Quantization and exported to ONNX to reduce model size by 59% and accelerate inference (e.g., PythonAnywhere). Constructed agentic/NLP workflows with LangChain; fine-tuned and adapted models with RLHF and PEFT to improve response quality. Optimized Node.js/Express back ends, improving throughput and reliability by ~20%.
AI Engineer at Reality AI Lab
December 1, 2024 - PresentContributed to Marvel Model, a next-gen generative image model; built Python training/fine-tuning pipelines and improved stability/scalability. Developed tooling for data augmentation, feature extraction, and custom metrics for image-based model evaluation; presented progress in sprints.
AI Engineer at NVSSoft
December 1, 2024 - PresentDesigned and implemented an ASP.NET Core application with a secure REST API layer (Entity Framework/DbContext) and Python-backed microservices for model inference. Configured IIS and production environments for high availability and throughput; partnered with DevOps to enable CI/CD (automated builds, tests, multi-stage deployments). Developed a React front end that integrates with .NET back end for real-time AI interactions, reducing response latency and improving UX. Instrumented AI agent workflows with n8n and Elsa Workflows (webhooks, scheduled jobs, tool chaining, retries, and human-in-the-loop approvals). Applied SOLID principles and clean architecture for maintainability; authored internal docs and onboarding runbooks.
