TODO(content): Nur Mohammad Sowan
TODO(content): AI-focused Software Engineer
TODO(content): I design and build AI systems end to end — retrieval, agents, evaluation, and the interfaces that make them usable. This portfolio is one of them: it boots like a model-serving stack, then renders itself into the work.
> The first instruction sets the behavior, tone, and expectations for everything that follows.

}TODO(content): I am a software engineer focused on applied AI. I like the unglamorous parts — data plumbing, evals, latency budgets — because that is where reliable products are actually won.
TODO(content): My base capabilities span full-stack product engineering and modern ML tooling. I care about clear interfaces, honest metrics, and shipping something a real person can use on the first try.
