Ayan Jawaid

Driving the Future of
Intelligent Systems

I am an AI Engineer and AI Evaluation Specialist dedicated to crafting sophisticated AI systems that solve real-world problems. My focus lies at the intersection of large language models, multimodal evaluations, robust backend architectures, and secure cloud infrastructures.

With hands-on experience spanning model output evaluation, custom video streaming pipeline engineering (FFmpeg/HLS), scalable cloud architectures (AWS), and local-first AI system design, I deliver production-grade solutions optimized for performance and accuracy.

LLM & RAG Systems

Expertise in RAG, prompt engineering, LangChain, and LLM orchestration.

Multimodal & Eval

AI data training, output annotation, model evaluation, and preference ranking.

Backend Systems

Scalable architectures built using Python, Flask, Django, and SQL databases.

Cloud & Streaming

High-performance AWS infrastructure deployment, Docker, and HLS Streaming.

Personal Projects

A curated showcase of local-first AI assistants, mobile chat companions, and innovative AI tools built by me.
