Umair Tufail

AI Engineer · Research · Systems & Infrastructure

"I don't just wrap APIs. I build reliable AI systems, optimize LLM inference, and engineer production ready agent infrastructure."


👨‍💻 The Short Version

I am an AI & Research Engineer bridging the gap between SOTA LLM research and hardened production infrastructure. With 3+ years of experience, I specialize in Agentic Systems, RLVR (Rule Based Reinforcement Learning), and GPU optimized Inference.

From building multi agent workflows that reduce failures to fine tuning opensource LLMs while cutting training costs, I build end to end AI systems designed for production.
