Hi, I'm Saim Ahmad
Software Engineer — Full Stack & AI
I don't just write code — I build things that work end to end, from the first line of frontend to the last deployment pipeline. Three years in, I have shipped products across every layer of the stack and I am comfortable owning all of it. Where I spend most of my thinking: AI. Generative AI, Agentic AI, large language models in production — this is the space I am genuinely obsessed with and where I believe the most interesting engineering problems live right now.
" The developers who will shape the next decade are not the ones who fear AI — they are the ones who learn to think alongside it.
01 — About
Building things that scale
I'm a full stack software engineer and AI engineer with 3 years of hands-on experience crafting production-grade web applications. From clinical research portals to real-time chat systems, I love solving complex problems with clean, maintainable code. I use AI to build smarter — turning Generative AI and Agentic AI into real, production-ready systems that solve problems people actually have.
Currently based in Munich, Germany, I'm pursuing my Master's in Computer Science at Universität Paderborn alongside freelance and open-source work.
Outside of code I enjoy exploring new tech stacks, contributing to open source, and sharing what I learn through writing.

What I've Built
ARAG — Adaptive RAG Assistant
Full-stack AI assistant at Universität Paderborn's DICE Research Group that lets users upload documents, build knowledge bases, and get streamed, citation-backed answers. Dynamically routes queries between retrieval, summarization, reranking, and generation.
StudyScavenger
Secure clinical research portal enabling researchers to manage studies and patients to enroll in trials. AI eligibility engine (OpenAI + RAG) cut manual matching by 70%. Built with Django REST + React, deployed on AWS ECS with Docker.
LawAI
Legal intelligence platform with a PostgreSQL vector store indexing 10,000+ judgments. LangChain + RAG cut legal research time by 60%. Features lawyer booking and secure token-based auth.
NearYou
Real time chat & dating web app connecting users with service-provider "buddies" by proximity and interests. AI compatibility scoring boosted match rate by 35%. Uses WebSockets, Redis Channels, and PostgreSQL.
Meeting & Chat App
Location-aware communication platform with live geofenced markers via MapMyIndia & Google Maps. JWT auth, real-time messaging, and an AI assistant for smart replies and meeting summaries.
DogWalker
Staff scheduling app that ingests appointment CSVs and applies a 3-pass AI scheduling algorithm, reducing conflicts by 55%, then optimises routes via Google Maps. Custom admin for one-click CSV export.
E-Commerce Store
Full-stack containerised e-commerce platform with token-based auth, product catalogue, cart, checkout and payments. GitHub Actions CI/CD achieved 100% zero-downtime releases.
04 — Experience
Work History
Engineered full-stack Django/React applications with Docker containerisation and AWS ECS deployments for high-availability production environments.
Built real-time communication features with WebSocket/Redis architecture and integrated location-tracking APIs for a location-aware meeting platform.
Developed multi-tenant marketplace and donation web apps; integrated Python threading for parallelising I/O-bound operations significantly improving throughput.
Built web scraping pipelines with BeautifulSoup and a form-driven PDF CV generator using PDFKit and Pillow.
