Machine Learning Engineer
Building production-scale AI systems — from RAG pipelines and LLM orchestration to computer vision platforms — for clients across the globe.
I'm a Machine Learning Engineer based in Lagos, Nigeria, with 5+ years of experience designing and deploying AI/ML systems for global clients across healthcare, finance, e-commerce, and travel.
My work spans the full ML lifecycle — from architecting Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems and multi-agent LLM frameworks, to building production-grade computer vision pipelines and managing cloud infrastructure at scale.
I have a mathematics background from Adamawa State University, complemented by an MITx MicroMasters in Statistics & Data Science and a Stanford Machine Learning Masterclass — giving me strong theoretical foundations alongside hands-on engineering depth.
End-to-end computer vision system for detecting shoplifting behavior from CCTV streams. Built full pipeline from dataset creation and annotation to real-time edge deployment, processing RTSP camera feeds with batch inference and ultra-low latency alerts.
Cloud-based ComfyUI workflow for AI hairstyle transfer and coloring, using CNN-based facial alignment and embedding extraction deployed on RunPod.
LangGraph multi-agent system integrating external APIs for travel planning. Designed with agent routing and persistent memory framework for contextual conversations.
Transformer-based architecture for analysing 100K+ medical images with 15% accuracy improvement. Containerised with Docker on EKS with 99.5% uptime SLA.
Pinecone-backed RAG system serving 500+ daily users at 92% query accuracy, with 60% latency reduction via LangGraph multi-agent orchestration on AWS.
Optimised GAN and transformer architectures improving generation quality by 25%, with distributed training pipelines cutting model training time by 40%.
20+ hands-on AI labs reaching 1,000+ global students, covering CNNs, GANs, Diffusion Models, and real-world computer vision applications.
Five years of hands-on engineering across the full ML stack — from research and prototyping to production deployment and observability.
Strongest in LLM system design, RAG architectures, and scalable computer vision pipelines.
Ahmed is a skilled engineer, a diligent worker, and an enthusiastic collaborator. I would recommend him without reservation for any job in the machine learning or AI space.
I worked with Ahmed in 2024 remotely to assist me in building a course on computer vision for WorldQuant University. Ahmed took the lead in writing all of the code for student lessons and projects using PyTorch, Hugging Face, and other essential tools for computer vision. He meshed into our existing team and tech stack without any issues. His work was always high-quality, on time, and on budget. He was always gracious in taking feedback and incorporating changes. Thanks to his work, this course now enrolls thousands of students from around the world every year.
I enthusiastically recommend Ahmed for any job in data science, NLP, ML engineering, and AI engineering. He would be an excellent addition to any team.
"Perfect seller. Does what he said, is available, goes in depth in the subject to give best results. Communication was great and I plan to do more business with Ahmed since he is really professional. I Highly recommend this seller."
"Very incredible programmer. He delivered to my expectations. Would get back to order again."
"Excellent work." — returned for multiple AI chatbot and software projects.
"Ahmed was helpful, collaborative, and dedicated. Sometimes he got a little lost in the weeds, and I chalk that up to the depth of care in solving the problem."
"Ahmed did a great job on performing various web app development-related coding tasks on Amazon Web Services. We'd be happy to work with this freelancer again."
"Ahmed was great, extremely helpful, and patient. He is well-versed in Python pandas and understands modeling. He went over and beyond what I needed."
"I hired Ahmed for Computer Vision / Data Science / Deep Learning. He is an expert in his skills. Highly Recommended."
"Perfect seller! Thank you for helping me out. Highly recommend."
Open to freelance projects, contract roles, and full-time opportunities. Whether you need a production RAG system, a computer vision pipeline, or a custom LLM application — let's talk.
