About Hakim

I don’t just read AI research papers: I turn them into secure, global enterprise grade systems in Finance.



With 15+ years of full-stack engineering across microsecond-sensitive trading platforms and private banks (Rothschild, UBP), I specialize in bringing advanced Large Language Models (LLMs) into high stakes production. Backed by an Engineering degree from Institut Mines-Télécom and a specialized Deep Learning / AI diploma from Stanford, my greatest strength is full lifecycle independence. I take complex business problems from raw AI research and Proof of Concept (PoC) all the way to global deployment.



I build the whole machine. I am hands on across the entire modern stack:



-AI & Machine Learning: Prototyping (PyTorch, Hugging Face) & Agentic Workflows (LangChain, LangGraph, MCP).



-Backend & Systems: Low- atency microservices and APIs (C# .NET 8, Python, FastAPI, Node.js).



-Data & Cloud: Massive cloud native pipelines (Snowflake, PostgreSQL, Vector DBs) & AWS CI/CD (Docker, Kubernetes, MLOps).



-Frontend: Interactive user interfaces (React, TypeScript).



My focus is marrying high-speed data pipelines with modern AI to deliver reliable, 100% factual accuracy (Advanced RAG) at scale. Because I independently execute every phase: Research, Development, Testing, and Deployment. I effectively lead cross-functional teams and frequently deliver internal GenAI masterclasses to upskill entire engineering organizations.
